Biblical
Worldview Essay Instructions
The goal of the assignment is to demonstrate that you are able to
practice your chosen major/program of study in a manner consistent with a
biblical/Christian worldview. For this assignment, you will write a
600–1000-word essay addressing the following topic:
Foundational to
the Christian faith is the belief that mankind is created in the image of God.
Explain how this belief affects the way you interact with people within your
chosen vocation.
Considerations for
assignment:
1.
The word belief
in this assignment is essentially synonymous with the word doctrine.
2.
It would be wise to select the chosen vocation
that you intend to have upon graduation.
3.
Provide 2 or 3 specific examples of how the
theological truth (mankind is created in the image of God) is lived out in your
chosen vocation.
4.
Be sure to incorporate at least 2 theological
references in your paper using course sources.
5.
Be sure to incorporate at least 3 relevant
biblical references.
6.
The purpose of the assignment is not to discuss
how you will evangelize within a chosen vocation; rather, the assignment must
focus on how the understanding that mankind is created in the image of God
effects the way your vocation is performed.
7.
Example from business: since mankind is created
in the image of God, as an accountant, I should not cheat others out of money.
(This example would be substantiated with biblical support, and be elaborated
on within the essay.)
