different ideas on how a Christian should interact with the world in which they lived. From the biblical writings of The Gospel according to Matthew, and The Acts of the Apostles, to the non-biblical writings of On Philosophy, and The Prescription Against Heretics, the ideas of Christianity were brought together. The two non-biblical documents highlight the arguments of whether or not Christians should study Greek philosophy. The books from The Bible showed that Christian beliefs focused on how one

One of the biggest obstacles as Christian educators is to integrate biblical principles into our teaching philosophy without being accused of indoctrinating students. Therefore, it is important for me to embrace a personal philosophy of education grounded in my Christian worldview which is that everything I do in both my personal and professional life will be inspired by God which will be demonstrated by my dedication to student learning and advancement of my own knowledge.

According to Schultz (2003) a Kingdom-focused education must be built on the following four points: Jesus Christ, A Biblical Philosophy of Education, Evangelism, and Discipleship. The most appropriate place for Kingdom education to start is in the family where children are taught that “only salvation in Christ can perfect a person” (Schultz, 2003, p.19). Because Kingdom education is rooted in development of a personal relationship with Christ it exists as a present reality and not a future physical

consistent with other elements of our lives, a robust philosophy of education has to start with some answers to basic questions of existence. The four primary questions of philosophy that most closely relate to education are: “What is knowledge?” (epistemology), “What is reality?” (metaphysics), “What is valuable?” (axiology), and, “What is man?” (anthropology). The Bible addresses all of these questions and thereby guides us in our philosophy of education. What is knowledge? God is the source of

theism. Adams’ account has the kind of honest, penetrating discussion of real evil in our world about which philosophy would do well to take notice. The little child kidnapped and murdered; the innocent family killed by the

Augustine: A New Biography by James O’Donnell truly challenges readers to view Augustine through a different lens. Augustine, who greatly influenced Christian philosophy and the development of Christianity as a whole within Western Civilization, is known by people around the world. These people will more than likely be dismayed when they read James O’Donnell’s view of Augustine in which they possibly, will call blasphemous. O’ Donnell claims that his biography starts where Augustine’s Confessions

St. Augustine and the Problem of Evil from a Christian Basis In his Confessions, St. Augustine writes about a large number of topics that continue to have relevance today. The text documents the development of Augustine’s faith and his Christian philosophy, and one thing of particular interest is his argument for the nature of evil. Christianity predicates several important ideas that Augustine builds upon in his philosophy, and within its context, he presents a thorough, compelling

Chapter Two the Concept of Christian Philosophy: After looking at the problem of Christian philosophy and why it should receive such a name. Now we will see what is the concept of Christian philosophy. The easiest way to understand the concept of Christian philosophy is to know the reason many cultured men who were not christian at all but converted to Christianity in different historic period. It would be interesting to know why many philosophers are drawn to Christian in order to get a meaningful

Question 1: Faith inculcation can work in a variety of different ways, but the main two are by social exposure and through important life events. If asked, anyone will say their faith was influenced by either major figures in their life or an event that caused them to look at the world differently. My belief is that there is no one way that someone gains his or her view of faith. It can be influenced by countless conditions in which a single person experiences. Furthermore, when it comes to religion

Anselm, sometimes thought of as the first philosopher of Christianity, practiced scholasticism, and in his writings he attempted harmonizing faith and reason. A piece of writing he is author of is called Meditation on Human Redemption. Anselm touches on a variety of topics in this writing. The three major points this document covers are the concept of why God the Father is not able to simply forgive all of humanity’s sins, how justice is to be brought about once humans sin, and how Jesus Christ paid
