2REFLECTION ON CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW
Description:
Goldsworthy’s “Christ Centred Biblical Theology” contemplates on the Christian
worldview of creationism. On the contrary, standing on the twenty first century, as I have
developed my viewpoint on the core concept of existentialism, this has been conceptualized
under certain understanding pertaining to conflict between creationism and existentialism.
Hence, the following paper is going to authenticate my reflective learning process without being
judgmental or being biased to any particular thought process of my own. This paper is
succinctly going to demonstrate the differences between the ideological thought process of
creationism and existentialism. This reflective essay intends to look forward to the better
understanding of the following case:
Following key word have been taken into certain account while going through the paper
written by Goldsworthy:
i) Skepticism
ii) Creationism
iii) Covenant Theology
iv) Biblical theology
v) Adiaphoron (it is considered to be the matter of indifference)
The bottom line for me while reading this book has been the understanding of the value
of the biblical theology. While developing my idea on this specific theology, I have started
contemplating on the contradictory factor pertaining to faith and doubt and my rational mindset.
In this context, it can be stated that the specific understanding has to be taken into certain
consideration pertaining to the effective understanding of the cultural emblem.

3REFLECTION ON CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW
Analysis:
According to Goldsworthy every Christian is a theologian. The issue according to
Goldsworthy is the way of doing the theology. The biblical theology is the discipline that helps
to understand the bible it guides to understand the bible and the works of Jesus Christ. It further
helps us to view the stories told in different biblical books. The story of the evolution of Eve
from the ribs of Adam and the consumption of the forbidden fruit by the couple is the sayings in
Bible. This is the basic story shared in the bible, which is treated as a discipline.
Evaluation:
Goldsworthy compares and contrasts the discipline of the theology of biblical theology
with the other theories. He is concerned about the historical and the systematic theory. While
evaluating his thought it can rightly b said that he opined for the Christian theism. The revelation
of God and the mankind is explained best in the Christian theism. The theology concerns about
the God himself. The bible is the ultimate way of knowing God. The bible is itself the word of
God. It is the revelation that heads us towards the message of Jesus Christ.
Me:
From the above analysis, I have gathered the fact that the theology includes the secondary
translation. It has been transferred through many ages by many different authors. However the
theological interpretation is the best way of interpreting Bible and it is the best way of knowing
the redemption of Christ and the reincarnation of Christ. The humans have interpreted the history
according to themselves. They have molded the information according to themselves. There is
that fact that the messages conveyed in the Bible is not the same what God intended to say. In
spite of all this the Bible is the most reliable form of getting the messages of God. I think that the

history of the stories in the Bible have been conveyed with the eradication of the actual history of
fact. The original facts has been removed and not been conveyed.
