LITERATURE REVIEW
Discussion Thread: Literature Review
A literature review is an unbiased, personal, and informative synopsis of the information published in an area of study (Winchester & Salji, 2016). Literature reviews help a researcher identify gaps in literature, add to the existing body of knowledge, or apply the insights provided in the literature to solve a problem. This assignment demonstrates each of these concepts from a biblical worldview.
Gaps in literature are pieces of insufficient or missing information in the literature that provide a rationale for conducting research. They are the unexplored or under-explored areas in regard to a given character, sample or population, methods of data collection and analysis, or research variables (Winchester & Salji, 2016). For instance, a review of the book of 1st Samuel reveals a gap in the character of Samuel. In 1 Samuel chapter 3, God calls Samuel as a young boy and attests him as his prophet. 1 Samuel 3:19 to 21 states that the Lord was with Samuel and did not allow any of his words to fall to the ground (Revised Standard Version). However, there is a huge gap in Samuels character throughout the next few chapters as the Philistines defeat Israel and capture the Ark...
…Christ offered a perfect example of servant leadership when He gave Himself to serve the needs of His people rather than going after what pleased Him (RSV). Like Christ, worldly leaders should pursue servanthood. In Acts 4:34-37, Peter provides the example of responsible leadership and good governance he cares for the needy by imploring the rich to give the surpluses they had to the poor so that all would benefit. In acts 6:3, the bible commands citizens to consider ones virtues and spirituality when electing leaders. In these instances, the Bible demonstrates that Godly leadership is the solution to the selfishness…

Biblical Worldview: How Genesis 1:26-27 Affects My Choice of Professions A belief that is foundational to the Christian faith is that people are made in the image of God as explicated in Genesis 1:26-27. Given this centrality, it is reasonable to posit that this biblical worldview also affects Christians' choices of professions in varying degrees. To gain some fresh insights into this issue, this paper provides an explanation concerning how this
Introduction An educator who possesses a biblical worldview and a Christian philosophy of education means that the instructor views life, life’s purpose, and all of history from the standpoint of the Christian religion. For such an instructor, the Incarnation is the most important moment in all of history, because it is the moment in which God became Man and the beginning of the redemption of mankind was initiated. The biblical worldview
Bible Paul's epistle to the Romans offers a thorough framework for what would become the Christian worldview. In Romans, Paul outlines core themes related to the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture. The way Paul delivers the message that became the heart of Christian doctrine was to present not a systematic theology, but a reasoned outline of why the teachings of Christ offered something new and potentially meaningful. One of
In this way, it has a consistency since, not measuring itself against fluctuating essences such as physics, biology, psychology, and the other sciences; it asserts that existence can be gauged only by the human's reaction and response to his own existence. And that each human has to work out for himself how to live his life (Flynn, 2006). On the other hand, existentialism can be inconsistent since, history seems to
Biblical Worldview: Romans 1-8 Teaching My analysis of Romans chapter 1-8 will cover the following areas of interest; culture, the natural world, human relationships, and human identity. Paul was inspired to write the book of Romans by the fault line, an obvious crack in the Roman society and culture which Paul adopted in framing his letter to the Romans. My view of the world is that, the sins the Romans committed
Biblical worldview to an alternate worldview (atheism) There have been a number of different worldviews that have populated the earth in its vast history. One of the most fascinating aspects of this realization is the fact that despite a variety of different practices and customs associated with these worldviews, there is no indisputable proof that proves that any of these viewpoints are actually correct. The many different people who practice
