BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW AND EDUCATION 2
Biblical worldview and education
The term biblical worldview can be summarized as the way human beings look at life.
This is the way people perceive life both from the Christian or biblical point of view or in the
humanitarian view, depending on their faith and cultural believes and norms. It is evidenced that
everyone has his way of thinking about the origin of life and the supernatural creatures like
mountains, rivers, and others, thus depending on their faith since most of the people try to
explain life in science form as others use the biblical view. Therefore, it depends on the
individual's faith.
One's worldview can be formed and controlled by one of the following factors that culture,
education, religious beliefs, emotions, and the bible. A good number believes the bible of that
God wrote it, so they choose to believe in it while others are bound to their cultural practices and
beliefs (Mkono, 2016).
Based on the differences in the worldviews, the key four questions which have been
frequently asked to explain or find the best understanding of the worldviews are mentioned as
follows;
 Is God the creator of the world and rules the universe?
 What is the origin of mankind?
 Is life after death real?
 Does God exist
The above mentioned key questions in explaining and understanding of the worldviews have
been closely linked to the views like Christ-centered, bible-based, humanistic, Australian
indigenous, and others.

BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW AND EDUCATION 3
Christ-centered, bible-based
The Christ-centered worldviews are closely linked to Christianity. Thus the way Christians
believe in the existence of God and the origin of humans. Christianity is a comprehensive and the
way of life that grows out of Christian's reflection on the bible teachings and guidance and the
plans (Jackson, 2018).
Based on the big four questions, the Christ-centered worldview believes in the existence of
God and life after death, as specified in the bible. They always get their answers to the big four
questions from reading the bible as they believe the bible is the solution for every question or
problem the world might be currently undergoing (White & Kirkpatrick, 2020). Following the
story of creation thus, according to the bible, book of Genesis, a man was created on the sixth
day hence giving the question on the origin of mankind. The book also explains or accounts for
the origin of supernatural things on earth as it gives the creation story from day one to the sixth
day when a man was created (Reber, 2019).
Humanistic view
Humanistic believes in human dignity and science; therefore is outlaws the four key
questions of human origin, the existence of God, life after death, and the issue of supernatural
beings (Ronen, 2018). The humanistic beliefs in science and, in most cases, applies scientific
theories and views in explaining the big four questions. For instance, the humanistic belief in the
evolution theory of mankind where man was once an ape-like creature and later evolved to the
upright man (Nieminen, et al., 2017).The humanistic base their arguments concerning the big
four questions on science inventions and discoveries theory have no relation with the non-
scientific theories like the bible centered view (Kopnina, 2018).
