 What is Worldview?
Everyone has
• a “view of the world”,
• a mental map for
everything
• a vision for life
• a pair of lens through
which we look at life,
our own selves, the
world and what is
ultimately real.

 Why is Worldview Important?

“Every religion or faith serves two

functions: a message of personal
salvation and a lens for interpreting
the world.”
Martin Marty

"A world view provides a model of the

world which guides its adherents in
the world." Walsh and Middleton

 Discipleship

Love the Lord

with all our mind, soul
and strength. Be
transformed by the
renewal (not removal)
of our minds. Develop
a biblically informed
perspective on all
reality.

 Mission In Pluralistic Society

“The problem is not only to

win souls but to save
minds. If you win the whole
world and lose the mind of
the world, you will soon
discover you have not won
the world.” Charles Malik
 Transforming Vision
Laypeople in every facet of
life – media, politics,
business, education and
others – should be enabled
to challenge the prevailing
assumptions of society in
light of the gospel.
Theology should not be
reserved for pastors and
scholars only!
