Introduction to Worldviews

“An Introduction to Worldviews”

One planned curriculum is called “An Introduction to Worldviews.” It will introduce the concept of worldview; survey and evaluate non-Christian philosophies and religions; present a Christian perspective on God, science, and ethics; and challenge students to live a Christian worldview with greater confidence, consistency, and impact. When completed, it will include over 20 hours of video instruction and additional resources.

The video presentations will be given by Dr. Richard Knopp, Executive Director of Room For Doubt and Professor Emeritus of Philosophy & Apologetics at Lincoln Christian University.

The curriculum will be usable for church staff, church classes, small groups, college ministries, Christian high schools, high school youth, home schools, parents, and families.
