ABOUT THE BWVI

Your life is based on foundational assumptions and a framework of guiding principles that provide your thinking with a basic stability, shape, and structure. This is known as your worldview.

The term worldview comes from the field of philosophy and has been gaining in popularity in recent years. Understanding the concept of worldview allows you to be more aware of the root systems that guide how you and others think and act.

Your Biblical Worldview is determined by considering your perspective on six areas of philosophical inquiry and comparing them with historically accepted interpretations of writings contained in the Bible:

  1. Ontology, the study of what is.
  2. Cosmology, the study of where it all comes from.
  3. Eschatology, the study of where you are going.
  4. Axiology, the study of what you consider to be good and evil.
  5. Praxeology, the study of how you should or prefer to act.
  6. Epistemology, the study of what is true and false.

The Biblical Worldview assessment is a helpful indicator that helps you determine if what you believe to be fundamentally true lines up with what the Bible says regarding these questions. This assessment 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.

PLEASE NOTE:

The BWVI assessment is best experienced using a computer or tablet.
