Abstract
Worldviews are those larger pictures that inform and in turn form our perceptions of reality. They are visions of life as well as ways of life, are individual and personal in nature, yet bind adherents together communally. Coming to understand a worldview can serve to illuminate particular beliefs and values, and may be helpful in a post-Christian, post-modern or even post-secular era filled with religious, spiritual and secular beliefs of various kinds that hold sway today in the public realm. This article looks at Christianity through a worldview lens using an “ultimate/existential questions” framework (who and what are we; meaning and purpose; responsibilities and obligations; discerning right from wrong; power, force or being greater than humans; and life after this life) to get at the heart of some fundamental Christian beliefs and values.
