Biblical Worldview: Initial Assignment
PART ONE:
Instructions: Write a 100-word paragraph response to each of the following questions. For each
question, support your views with Scripture. Note that all mentions of the Bible must be
accompanied by a citation using current APA format.
SECTION 1
What is the basis
for reality? Does
God exist?
The basis of reality is that God is the source and sustainer of all
that exists. Through His eternal love, Reality is grounded in the
creative power of truth. The affirmation of God’s existence is
revealed through the reason of the divine revelation. His presence
and purpose points to the creation of the universe. Genesis 1:1
says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
(King James Version, 2024) The basis for reality is that God is the
origin of all things. The foundation of reality is believing that God
guides human life towards the truth. The meaning of God’s
existence is to have an eternal destiny by believing in the truth.
The basis for reality is believing in God’s existence through the
creative power of truth.
SECTION 2
What is the basis for
truth?
The church teaches that faith and reason are the basis for truth.
The basis of truth is God who is absolute, unchanging, and eternal.
The basis for truth is not a concept but a scientific, moral, and
spiritual source. The Scripture says to believe in God’s unchanging
source. The Gospel of John guides us to understand and to live in
the truth. John 14:6 says, “I am the way, and the truth, and the
life.” (King James Version, 2024) The source of God’s nature is the
church that leads us to the truth. The basis for truth is to have a
spiritual walk with God’s teaching. John 8:32 says, “Truth
ultimately sets us free.”(King James Version, 2024) The church is
the basis for truth that leads us to having an eternal destiny with
Him. The basis for truth is the belief that God’s moral teaching is
accurate. The basis for truth is the weekly services at church. It is
the teaching of the Scripture that leads to the basis for truth.
SECTION 3
What values should
anchor life decisions?
Life decisions should be anchored in values rooted in God’s
truth and love. The most important value is love. “You shall
love the lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul,
and with all your mind… and your neighbor as yourself”
(Matthew 22:37-
39). There are other important values ad they are truth, to live
honestly, justice, to treat others with kindness and dignity,
humility,

remember the
need for God, courage, to do what is right even when it is hard,
and faith, trust in God. These help us to choose rightly and live in
God’s will. These virtues lead us to holiness, purpose and peace,
anchoring our lives in what is eternal and good in God’s eye.
SECTION 4
What is the purpose for
education, based on
your answers to the
first three questions?
Life decisions should be anchored in values rooted in God’s
truth and love. The most important value is love. “You shall
love the lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul,
and with all your mind… and your neighbor as yourself”
(Matthew 22:37-
39). There are other important values ad they are truth, to live
honestly, justice, to treat others with kindness and dignity,
humility, remember the
need for God, courage, to do what is right even when it is hard,
and faith, trust in God. These help us to choose rightly and live in
God’s will. These virtues lead us to holiness, purpose and peace,
anchoring our lives in what is eternal and good in God’s eye.

PART TWO
Instructions: From the purpose for education paragraphs above, develop your own philosophical
chart below. Be sure to include a minimum of two to three examples for each category below
that demonstrate the purpose of each specific aspect of education.
Philosophical Category Examples
Purpose of School:
As an institutional learning
environment
To form students in faith
and reason (CCC 159).
Preparing them for both
earthly vocation and
eternal life. Catholic
schools create
communities of faith
where students grow
intellectually and
spiritually. Example:
Daily prayer
Mass attendance
Liturgical celebrations
Social justice projects
More formation
Learner:
Basic Nature of the Learner and Role
of the Learner in the Learning Process
The learner is made
in the image of God
(CCC 1701), with a
soul capable of
knowing, loving, and
serving God.
Students are called
to seek truth ( john
8:32) grow in
wisdom (luke 2:52) and become who
God created them to be
(Jeremiah 29:11)
Teacher:
Role in the Instructional Process
Teachers are
coworkers with
Christ, guiding
students in truth and
virtue. They serve as
mentors and
witnesses to faith
(CCC 899).
5
The role of
teachers includes catechesis,
intellectual instruction,
and spiritual example.
Example:
integrating catholic
social teaching,
providing sacramental
preparation, and
fostering discipleship
Curriculum: Purpose
and Content
The curriculum should
reflect the sacramental
worldview- seeking
God’s presence in all
things. All subjects
reveal aspects of God’s
truth: science reveals
creation,
literature explores human dignity,
history shows God’s providence.
Religious education, sacred
scripture and church
teachings are central.
Methods:
Best means to reach the learner
Catholic education emphasizes a
holistic and rational approach:
teaching the head, heart, and
hands. Christ-centered methods
include storytelling (parables),
discussion, contemplation, acts
of service and liturgical life.
learning should nurture both
critical thinking and spiritual formation
(CCC 2223)
