Civic and global engagement involves the ability to engage local, national, and global structures as an informed
follower of Christ. This requires one to have an understanding of a Biblical Worldview, as well as be able to
decipher that view from secular worldviews in the areas of cultural, political, economic, and industrial fields. To
impact any of these areas one must effectively engage with people of diverse backgrounds. To this avail, students
will script an essay which demonstrates this understanding.
First, students should review “What is a Biblical worldview” in Chapter 0 Introduction: Getting Started [you may
recall that a direct link to this Chapter was listed in Module 1’s reading folder, if needed) and the view the Module
presentations on worldview and diversity. You should also read Chapter 8 on diversity.
Note- Students will see quite a few connections between Biblical worldview and diversity- i.e. God created the
entire earth and everything living. He made all of us in His image. We are all decendants of Adam and Eve, but
have unique differences. We are all sinners, regardless of demographics. God reveals Himself through the Word,
and has sent us diverse prophets. We are to love one another without exclusions. We are charged to go out to all
nations. And, so on.
Next, students should script a 300-400 word reflection essay using the below provided outline. The reflection sho
follow the traditional, academic essay format (introduction, three body paragraphs, conclusion).
Note- The textbook defines Biblical worldview as a framework of beliefs that dictate how you act and interact in th
world. It is a means in which you see the world through the lens of the Bible.
The reflection will be graded on (a) a brief introduction/overview and a summative, reflective conclusion; (b) three
well-written body paragraphs that answer the below provided questions; and (c) word count and mechanics such
clarity, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. Students should view the grading rubric before
beginning the assignment.
