This week, we continued our focus on what it means to hold to a Christ-centered worldview. The goal of this unit is to bring everything we’ve studied this year into the light of who we are in Jesus. It’s no mystery that our culture today is facing an identity crisis. I often remind—and implore—our students that our true and lasting identity must be found and grounded in the person of Jesus. From this new identity flows a vibrant and dynamic worldview—one capable of transforming culture itself.
Furthermore, we explored some challenging, relevant philosophical concepts related to rationalism, empiricism, and metaphysics. We examined the Moral Argument for God's existence, we learned all about ontology, and we even dipped our toes in the depths of Kantian Metaphysics.
We ended the week with the start of a documentary on the life and faith of C.S. Lewis. Later in the second quarter, students will be reading C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity.
First-quarter notes are due by Thursday, October 16th.
Next week, we will continue exploring what it means to have a Christ-centered Incarnational worldview.
