Worldview Essay Instructions
Rationale for the Worldview Essay
Every person has a worldview whether he realizes it or not.
What is a worldview? James W. Sire defines a worldview as:
[A] commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that
can be expressed as a story or in a set of presuppositions
(assumptions which may be true, partially true or entirely false)
that we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or
inconsistently) about the basic constitution of reality, and that
provides the foundation on which we live and move and have
our being.[footnoteRef:1] [1: James W. Sire, The Universe
Next Door, 5th ed. (Downers Grove: IVP Academic, 2009), 20.]
Stated more succinctly, “…[A] worldview is simply the total set
of beliefs that a person has about the biggest questions in
life.”[footnoteRef:2] F. Leroy Forlines describes such questions
as the “inescapable questions of life.”[footnoteRef:3] Life’s
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?”[footnoteRef:4] Life’s biggest, inescapable
questions relate to whether there is a God, human origins,
identity, purpose, and the hereafter, just to mention a few. [2:
Jonathan Morrow, Think Christianly: Looking at the
Intersection of Faith and Culture (Grand Rapids: Zondervan,
2011), 69.] [3: F. Leroy Forlines, The Quest for Truth:
Answering Life’s Inescapable Questions (Nashville: Randall
House, 2001), 1.] [4: Ibid.]
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 the natural world, human identity, human
relationships, and culture. Furthermore, explain how this
teaching of these topics affects your worldview. Make sure that
you address each of these topics in your essay.
· As an essay, it must be written with excellent grammar,
spelling, and style.
· Begin your essay with an interesting introduction that contains
a precisely stated thesis. End your essay with a strong
conclusion that summarizes your main points succinctly.
· The body of your essay must address the specified components
of the assignment in excellent grammatical style. Build your
essay with solid topic paragraphs.
· Your essay must be typed in a Microsoft Word document using
Times New Roman, 12-point font.
· It must be single spaced, and must contain 750–1000 words.
· All sources must be cited, and a bibliography must be
included.
· Do not footnote Scripture references; cite them parenthetically
within the essay body following the quotation or allusion to the
biblical text.

1[Type text] Worldview Essay Grading Rubric2[Type te.docx

  • 1. 1 [Type text] Worldview Essay Grading Rubric 2 [Type text] Worldview Essay Instructions Rationale for the Worldview Essay Every person has a worldview whether he realizes it or not. What is a worldview? James W. Sire defines a worldview as: [A] commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as a story or in a set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true or entirely false) that we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently) about the basic constitution of reality, and that provides the foundation on which we live and move and have our being.[footnoteRef:1] [1: James W. Sire, The Universe Next Door, 5th ed. (Downers Grove: IVP Academic, 2009), 20.] Stated more succinctly, “…[A] worldview is simply the total set of beliefs that a person has about the biggest questions in life.”[footnoteRef:2] F. Leroy Forlines describes such questions as the “inescapable questions of life.”[footnoteRef:3] Life’s 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?
  • 2. What should I and what can I do about guilt? How can I deal with my inner pain?”[footnoteRef:4] Life’s biggest, inescapable questions relate to whether there is a God, human origins, identity, purpose, and the hereafter, just to mention a few. [2: Jonathan Morrow, Think Christianly: Looking at the Intersection of Faith and Culture (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2011), 69.] [3: F. Leroy Forlines, The Quest for Truth: Answering Life’s Inescapable Questions (Nashville: Randall House, 2001), 1.] [4: Ibid.] 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
  • 3. 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 the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture. Furthermore, explain how this teaching of these topics affects your worldview. Make sure that you address each of these topics in your essay. · As an essay, it must be written with excellent grammar, spelling, and style. · Begin your essay with an interesting introduction that contains a precisely stated thesis. End your essay with a strong conclusion that summarizes your main points succinctly. · The body of your essay must address the specified components of the assignment in excellent grammatical style. Build your essay with solid topic paragraphs. · Your essay must be typed in a Microsoft Word document using Times New Roman, 12-point font. · It must be single spaced, and must contain 750–1000 words. · All sources must be cited, and a bibliography must be included. · Do not footnote Scripture references; cite them parenthetically within the essay body following the quotation or allusion to the biblical text.
