“A biblically based worldview is capable of affirming the best insights of secular philosophies without ever falling into reductionism.”
“We are experiencing the fall-out of two rival faiths- Christianity, a worldview teaching that God is sovereign over all He has created, and secularism, a worldview teaching that man is sovereign over all that has evolved up to this moment in time.”
“The key distinctive of a truly Christian education...is the effective practice of worldview integration, that is, an approach to biblical integration that leads to a Christian worldview.”
“The love of complexity without reductionism makes art; the love of complexity with reductionism makes science.”
“Biblical worldview'. The term means literally a 'view of the world', a biblically informed perspective on all of reality. A worldview is like a mental map that tells you how to navigate the world effectively. It is the imprint of God's objective truth on our inner life.”
“There is no longer a Christian mind." -BlamiresWhat did Blamires mean? To say that there is no Christian mind means that believers may be highly educated in terms of technical proficiency, and yet have no biblical worldview for interpreting the subject matter of their field. "We speak of the 'modern mind', and of the 'scientific mind', using that word 'mind' of a collectively accepted set of notions and attitudes," Blamires explains. But we have lost the Christian mind. There is now no shared, biblically based set of assumptions on subjects like law, education, economics, politics, science, or the arts. As a moral being, the Christian follows the biblical ethic. As a spiritual being, he prays and attends worship services. But as a thinking Christian, he has succumbed to secularism.”
