inescapable questions include the following: "Is there a God? If
so, what is He like? How can I know Him? Who am I? Where
am I? How can I tell right from wrong? Is there life after death?
What should I and what can I do about guilt? How can I deal
with my inner pain?" Life's biggest, inescapable questions
relate to whether there is a God, human origins, identity,
purpose, and the hereafter, just to mention a few.
Satisfying answers to the "inescapable questions of life" are
provided by the Holy Scriptures. The Holy Scriptures,
consisting of the Old and New Testaments, form the starting
point and foundation for the biblical worldview. More
specifically related to our purposes, the apostle Paul reflects
several components of the biblical worldview in his letter to the
Romans.
The apostle Paul authored Romans toward the end of his third
missionary journey, about 57 A.D. He addressed this letter
specifically to the Christians in Rome. At the time the church in
Rome consisted of Jewish and Gentile believers, with Gentile
Christians in the majority. Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome
in order to address specific concerns and challenges they were
facing. While Romans was an occasional letter (not a systematic
theology), Paul presents the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a very
systematic fashion. The Gospel is actually the overarching
theme of Romans as Paul spells this out in his programmatic
statement in 1:16–17. As the systematic presentation of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, Romans is foundational to the
biblical/Christian worldview.
Recognizing that Romans is not a systematic theology and does
not contain all the essential truths that are relevant to a
worldview per se, the apostle Paul articulates truths that are
foundational to the biblical worldview. In Romans 1–8, Paul
addresses certain components of a worldview that relate to the
natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.
In a 750–1000-word essay, describe what Romans 1–8 teaches
regarding (1)the natural world, (2)human identity,(3) human
relationships, and (4) culture. Furthermore, (5)explain how this
teaching of these topics affects your worldview. Make sure that
you address each of these topics in your essay.
