This course is designed to elucidate the worldviews that are behind and in the biblical text.
The people of God in the Bible had to face the worldviews of their surrounding cultures. In addition, within the cultures of the Old Testament Israelites and the New Testament Christians, there were diverse worldviews. Some of them were commended but others were criticized by the biblical writers. By examining these worldviews, the students will gain insights with which they can discern the worldviews of the contemporary cultures and foster more adequate and authentic Christian worldview that is faithful to the Bible. For each term a particular Biblical text, such as the book of Exodus, will be selected in order to do in-depth study.
