Worldview or vision of life is framework or set of fundamental beliefs thru which we view world and our calling and future in it. Vision need not be fully articulated, may be so internalized that it goes largely unquestioned. May not be explicitly developed into a systematic conception of life. May not be theoretically deepened into a philosophy.
may not even be codified into creedal form.May be greatly refined thru cultural historical development. Vision is a channel for ultimate beliefs which give direction and meaning to life. Integrative and interpretative framework by which order and disorder are judged. Standard by which reality is managed and pursued. Set of hinges on which all our everyday thinking and doing turns.
Worldview is commitment of heart expressed as story in set of assumptions true, partially true, or false that we hold consciously and subconsciously and consistently or inconsistently about basic constitution of reality and provides foundation on which we live, move, and have our being.Commitment - Worldview involves mind and soul and heart. Bible sees aswisdom, emotion, desire, and will, and intellect.Presuppositions expression – expressed as a story of your life.Assumptions T, PT, F, etc. reality is everyone’s own perception of world.
Foundation on which we lived expressed by words and actions.We all take some position whether we realize it or not,How did theism get replaced with deism? Deism came about to replace chaos with unity of theological and philosophical explanations. Shift from scriptures to reason or human intuition (inner light). Started studying world form based on matter and how things were put together. Orderly, mechanized, clockwork timing with perfect mechanical precision. Science was born.
Middle ages directed toward God and studying Him to become good and holy. Theology was born. Some deists Christians some not. To deist God is distant, foreign, alien, and unavailable.
