Course Description

This course, taught by Professor N.
T. Wright, is designed to take students into the realm of what a 'worldview' is. While most people think about 'beliefs' and 'actions', the real power behind each is the interplay that occurs within a person's or society's worldview. Understanding this worldview, particularly of the world of the New Testament, will assist students of the Bible in understanding what a New Testament text meant in its own context. Prof. Wright will describe the worldviews of the first century Romans, Jews, and Christians. He will then move through history to describe the Western worldview as a way of helping students discern where they fit and how to look at and through their own lenses in the 21st century. Prof. Wright will be joined by Prof. David Seemuth who will look at the U.
S. worldview of the early 21st century as an outgrowth and reaction to the Western worldview that emerged from the Enlightenment period.
Who this course is for:
This course on Worldviews is designed specifically for students of the New Testament as well as for those who wish to understand how cultures work from a high level perspective. This course does not require any prerequisites. However, high level, critical thinking abilities will help students achieve success in this course.
One unique aspect of this course is the corollary benefit of seeing how a person's own worldview affects behavior, beliefs and attitude.
The course will be best for those who wish to think deeply about their own worldviews and who wish to interact with students and the professor about one's own worldview in a way that encourages analysis and questioning of fundamental assumptions which exist underneath the outward stated beliefs and demonstrated practices of a person.

By Sarah Beasley on 8/16/2020

Im enjoying it and finding it stimulating

By Gary Brown on 8/11/2020

So far, so good.

By Fran Gilmore on 8/10/2020

Very enlightening. It helps to see myself through another lens and to have a way of analyzing my culture with a tool.

By Stephanie D Peacock on 8/5/2020

The further I have gotten into this study, the more I have appreciated it. It has been a study which required thoughtful reflection. As we study scripture a picture appears, rather like working a jigsaw puzzle, we gradually see the big picture. The wonderful background information that N.T. Wright provides within this study has been especially helpful in understanding the bigger picture. I teach an adult Sunday School class and have found what I have learned very helpful in preparing for our discussions.

By Derek oppenshaw on 7/22/2020

Yes!
One of the objective of research, which I do extensively, is to discover the 'new' which in turn may challenge, entrench, or shift my or other's 'worldviews' .....

By Andy Fraser on 7/20/2020

Yes. I've been studying worldview through the work of James Syre and of Nancy Pearcey. This course came at just the right time for me.

By Thomas Gallatin on 7/16/2020

I hope so

By Kay Wolfe on 7/16/2020

The over view, to me, is a little obvious.
