RESEARCH PAPER: BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
This assignment is designed to help you learn how to articulate the Biblical Worldview’s
responses to five key worldview questions. When a person answers these five questions it helps
them know their own worldview. It also helps them to know the worldview of others when they
answer these questions. Knowing how the Bible answers these questions is essential to
understanding the Biblical Worldview. If you are a follower of Christ and have a Biblical
Worldview, you should want to share your beliefs with others. However, being prepared to do
so with “gentleness and respect” is required (I Peter 3:15 NIV).
INSTRUCTIONS

(400 – 500 words). You are writing a research paper, so this assignment should be written in

Definition Assignment. This will be your first paragraph.
(400 – 500 words) Articulate the biblical worldview’s answer (what is believed) for each
of the following five questions*. Support your biblical content with scripture (Bible
references). A minimum of two relevant biblical references needs to be used to support
the content for each of the five questions below. Do not write out the verses as it takes up
too much of your word count. Just state the biblical idea and cite the biblical text to
support it. Use the Writing Style Guide sample paper for how to cite scripture. Each of
the five questions must be answered in a separate paragraph.
The Question of Origin – (What is the origin of the universe, etc.? How did humanity
come into existence?)
The Question of Identity – (What does it mean to be human? Are humans more important
than other living things?)
The Question of Meaning/Purpose – (What is humanity’s purpose?)
The Question of Morality – (What is meant by right and wrong? How is morality
determined?)
The Question of Destiny – (What happens when a person dies?)
*An overview of these specific worldview questions can be found in chapter 4 of Finding
Your Worldview: Thinking Christianly about the World.
