Book Synopsis
The Foundation and Pillars of the Biblical Worldview offers an in-depth analysis of the Biblical worldview. The first section explains worldviews, emphasizing epistemology, demonstrating that if one does not begin with God’s Word, he cannot justify any knowledge about anything. The second section lays the foundation for the Biblical worldview: The Bible is the standard of truth. Here the doctrines of revelation (including the insufficiency of general revelation), inspiration & inerrancy of Scripture, and 7 properties of Scripture are analyzed. The largest section explains the 8 pillars/key doctrines that uphold a Biblical worldview. Christians lacking any of these pillars do not have the Biblical materials needed to build a Biblical worldview. The last section applies the Biblical worldview to 7 areas: history; language; science; education; civil government; economics; counseling—giving the required presuppositions in each to be able to think Biblically and have faith to impact culture
