Hi I'm Dr. Kevin rawls and I'm Dr. Kristen Hart.
We'd like to take a moment to tell you about the biblical worldview indicator or BWVI.
Each and every one of us lives our life based on a set of foundational assumptions
that provide us with a basic stability shape structure to the decisions
that we make about our lives this is known as our worldview if you.
Imagine a house that represents the rationale
and logic that you use to make decisions then worldviews the foundation.
Your worldview is determined by considering your perspective
on six different areas of philosophy the first ontology the study of what is
the second cosmology is the study of where it all comes from or origins
the third eschatology the study of where you are going.
There's also axiology the study of what we consider to be good
and evil proxyology the study of how we should prefer to act,
the Pistonology is the study of what is true and false in the study of knowledge.
When you take the assessment you're given a series of statements
and you indicate how much you agree with the statement
we didn't give it a score for each of the constructs
that helps you see how your beliefs line up
with the historically accepted interpretations of the Bible.
Keep in mind there are no wrong answers because this indicator shows what you believe
not whether it is right or wrong this is not a test
you can't fail it and there's no studying to do.
The BWVI was designed to help you examine your own fundamental beliefs
and potentially adjust those beliefs to be more consistent with the Bible,
as such this exercise can be a great tool for personal growth and development.
