What's a Christian Worldview?
The excerpt below by Dell Tackett, What’s a Christian Worldview? gives us a snapshot of what a Christian worldview or Biblical Worldview is and how that worldview can get diluted. He says that “When you believe the Bible is entirely true, the infallible Word of God -then you allow it to be the foundation of everything you say and do.”
Excerpt:
A recent nationwide survey completed by the Barna Research Group determined that only 4 percent of Americans had a “biblical” worldview. When George Barna, who has researched cultural trends and the Christian Church since 1984, looked at the “born- again” believers in America, the results were a dismal 9 percent.
Barna’s survey also connected an individual’s worldview with his or her moral beliefs and actions. Barna says, “Although most people own a Bible and know some of its content, our research found that most Americans have little idea how to integrate core biblical principles to form a unified and meaningful response to the challenges and opportunities of life.”
