The following paper succinctly elucidates the concept of comparative worldview- the
Christian world view, based on Bible and the humanistic worldview. The plethora of conceptual
difference fortifies stronger debate on the acceptance of supreme power- the Christ or the human
being (Bereanbiblesociety.org. 2017). The following paper illustrates- in a reflective manner- the
process of intelligibility of the Christian worldview model. The process of reflection has been
structured in four major categories-
i) Description of the model
ii) Analysis of the Model
iii) Evaluation of the Model
iv) My Standpoint on the Model
Following is the modular interpretation of the worldview of Christianity:

Description:
The model structured by Berean Bible Society succinctly illustrates the concept of
creation and proclamation and the intervention of almighty into human life. The Christian
worldview is often debated as the proclamation of the Popes who negates the human
interpretation supremacy. Since this has been taken into certain consideration with the effective
changes pertaining to the issues with the help of different understandings of the issues, the
human supremacy is denuded and the supremacy of almighty is considered to be authentic in the
bible worldview. Before comprehending the Christian worldview, we need to understand what
worldview stands for (Deloria 2016). Worldview is the authentic and perspective framework
from which the reality is viewed upon. Moreover, it also associates the concept of life and world
based on some certain ideologies. In this case, the catholic ideology would be placed indeed.
The model in fact, summarizes the conceptualization of life and reality I the world and the reality
is interpreted on the basis of catholic understanding.
Analysis:
According to the Christian worldview, human being is submissive to God’s will that means
that the decision made by human being is directed by the supreme power. In Christianity no
human being can enjoy autonomy since there is no existence of such. God controls human fate
and time thus directing him towards the tasks. On the other hand, human being ought to develop
the desire to save others (Krasnov and Guzeeva 2014). A human being is structured by god and
is expected to inherit the will to serve the other creatures and the creation of God. Human being,
according to Christian belief is nothing but one mere creation of the almighty so there is no need

to portray or demonstrate dominance. Human being, on his mistake needs to apologetic and
there is a need for bold proclamation of Gospel thus incorporating the value of human task. The
real meaning of life can only be viewed through Jesus Christ. The value of life is quantified
through self- sacrifice, sanctity, responsibilities, family values, morality and absolute truth i.e.
the demise. Man’s need depends on the provision made by God. The concept of creationism is
also taken into consideration. According to the ideology every living being in the world is
created by the almighty (Esqueda 2014). The acknowledgement of man’s knowledge depends
upon the reading of scriptures. The main objective and fulfillment of human being comes
through the acceptance and acknowledgement of God as the supreme creator.
Evaluation:
I found that the concept built in the model of Christian worldview has been quite helpful for
me in developing the notion of how the creation and life is viewed upon. The concept of
creationism has always remained debatable because of scientific hypothesis and inventions.
However, it has helped me locate the value of human creation and the historical development of
human concept.
Me:
I personally negate the Christian worldview since I have firm believe in humanistic
worldview. Having studied the hypothetic observation of many of the scientists and observers, it
can be stated that human being can hardly be acknowledged by the creation of God. Human
being can hardly be submissive in terms of making bold decision.
