What is a worldview? Lecture 2b A worldview is simply the sum-total of our beliefs about the world, the “big picture” that directs our daily decisions and actions.

A worldview is constructed of 5 Critical Elements: Your view of God. Your view of truth. Your view of reality (Material or immaterial-Material or Spiritual). Your view of ethics. Your view of humanity.

Correspondence View of Truth: Truth is that which corresponds to its object, whether the object is abstract or concrete. Truth is the way things really are. Truth is “telling like it is.”

Coherent View of Truth: Truth is that which is internally consistent; what coheres within; what is self-consistent.

Pragmatic View of Truth: A statement is known to be true if it brings the right results. If it works, then it is true.

What is Truth? Truth is that which corresponds to reality, identifies things as they actually are, must be able to be expressed in propositions (t + t = true), can never fail, diminish, change, or be extinguished, and is sourced in the God of the Bible, who is the Author of all truth.

Every worldview can be analyzed by answering the following three questions: Where did we come from, and what are we (creation)? What has gone wrong with the world (fall)? What can we do to fix it (redemption)?
