Here’s a series that looks at the topic of Economics form a Biblical worldview. With some of the national conversations some of the issues has an economic dimension so its impotent to see what implications from Scripture with things economics; in fact I think have a biblical worldview of economics checks some of the extreme ideologies out there today with a study with nuances. The lectures are downloadable as MP3s. I think you might be edified with this.

I know I love learning about the Bible, theology, apologetics and philosophy. But the last few years I discover I love learning in many other academic sphere because of my beliefs of the Christian worldview, knowing that this is the world that God has created and allowed man to flourish with insights and understanding.
A great introduction to a Christian worldview of various academic sphere is The Faithful Learning series published by P&R Publishing (one of my favorite publishers). They bring Christian scholars from their respective field and have them write about their discipline and they write it in a way that’s friendly to the general reader and yet also insightful of its relationship to the Christian faith! One of the things I learned from reading Cornelius Van Til both directly and indirectly is the fact that this is God’s creation and a right interpretation of God’s creation involves His revelation of His Word and both are compatible and needed.
While looking up to find more of this series I discovered I actually finished the booklets in this series. So here below are links to my review of the seven titles in this series. I highly recommend them.

As I’m going over this with a group of guys from my church I thought the following questions might be helpful for individuals and small groups to facilitate discussions and learning based upon the apologetics’ book “Ultimate Proof of Creation” by Jason Lisle. It is a book that teaches Presuppositional apologetics that engages apologetics at the level of worldview. Cornelius Van Til was instrumental in beginning this form of apologetics and others have developed and applied it.

Christian theologian John Frame once said that “The discussion of the man-woman relationship has greatly intensified since the 1970s.” I think Frame is right. Much discussion has been ongoing and many books have been written on the topic. Different movements have also arise over the decades. One such movement focuses more on the hermeneutics of how we approach the Scriptures and how we interpret passages concerning the relationship of man and woman. It is called the redemptive-movement with William Webb being the notable leader of the group. While different people affiliated with this movement may differ in some of their conclusion nevertheless we can safely say that their hermeneutics lead them to the conclusion of egalitarianism. This is a book length critique of the movement from a Complementarian perspective.

Over the years there has been more books coming out on a biblical view of work and vocation but what I like about this particular work is that the author James M. Hamilton Jr. takes a biblical theology approach to the topic. By biblical theology I mean a study of what Scripture has to say with the consideration of the progressive revelation of the Bible in terms of redemptive history and the canonical context of passages that is cited. I have been enjoying more and more books taking a biblical theological approach to a subject as it helps avoid some of the claims that systematic theology is merely engaged in proof text.
