[Meets the Core Curriculum Writing Practice Requirement] What is real? What is Truth? Is there Truth? What difference does it make? We often assume the answers our culture gives, directly and indirectly, to these worldview questions without considering how they may or may not conflict with essential Christian beliefs and practices. This course is an introduction to the concept of worldview, the constructs of a Christian worldview and engagement with prevailing culture and alternative worldviews. Specific attention is given to both a foundational understanding of a Christian worldview and consideration of the way(s) in which it can be enacted and incarnated.
