A Biblical Worldview?

[christiana]

For both learning and teaching someone about having a biblical worldview what resources could you suggest? I am beginning dialogue with my 17yo grandson about worldviews and would like to know some really good resources. Thanks for all suggestions!

MacArthur edited a decent beginner level book with the Master's College faculty called "Think Biblically". I haven't read it in a while so I can't remember if his theological perspective comes much into play.

RC Sproul has a very good series of sub-30 min messages on the Christian Worldview, and it covers a lot of the philosophical positions that affect us day-today in our modern world: Christian Worldview: Dr. R.C.

You may find resources about a biblical worldview (as opposed to a secular humanist, or Marxist Leninist one) helpful:

Exodus Books - Worldview Curriculum

Understanding that a worldview includes an approach to history, economics, philosophy, ethics, etc. is very important in grounding yourself, or your children from the cultural onslaught which will teach, overtly or covertly a different world view, e.g. one based on a secular humanist approach.

One camp that someday you might want to send your children to is Summit Ministries, where real critical thinking from a biblical perspective is taught. It is particularly helpful to those developing their life ideas in their teens.

If he's engaged enough to try those recommendations they will teach him a lot, but the best lesson is always going to be learnt by seeing your own love of God and his word, and how your worldview is worked out in your life
