Developing a Worldview

This is an excerpt of my notes from a class taught by one of my all time favorite professors, Dr. Terry Thomas.  I have pages of notes on the topic of “worldview” but thought I would keep the post to a short little blurb:

Q: What is a worldview?

A:  A comprehensive framework of ones basic beliefs about things

A Worldview begins by answering these four questions:

  1. Who am I? (OR What makes human beings – human beings
  2. Where am I? (OR What is the basic reality in which we live?)
  3. What’s wrong with the world? (OR What is the thing that creates all the other chaos?)
  4. How do I make it right? (OR What is our role in the midst of it all?)
