-This model would state that learning and faith are against each other -The bible is all we need to know everything else is fallen -According to scripture everything is fallen -"I don't need anything but the bible to prepare me for life. Why should I harm my mind with the errors of the world? What I need are bible courses that will prepare me for ministry to a lost world. A bible college would be a good place to study"

Separate Authority Model (the parralle model)

-"God expects us to learn spiritual truths from the bible but academic truths from academics." -They are both needed but there is no overlap (faith and learning) -The bible contains to chemistry there for we learn chemistry from a textbook -"I read the bible for my spiritual growth, but I don't know why anyone would expect to find principles of biology and psychology there. There is no Christain chemistry. There is no Christian psychology or Christain physics. I think a state university is a fine place to earn a college degree, and I will certainly attend a good church there"

Christianity

-5 Solas: Five key points of reformation -Acts 2:42-47 -Martin Luther-monk, learns Latin, write 95 thesis -October 31-nails his letter to Catholic Church door -he reforms Christianity -William Hindel translated the bible with printing press

Equal Authority Model (The integrative model)

-Admits that overlapping and admits faith and learning correlate with each other; they have a mutual relationship. -States the bible and humans are an equal source of truth that combined produce more truth than they do alone -"I have two sources of truth in the study of reality and human nature: The bible and the human academic world. I just combine their insights when I have questions, and then I have more knowledge than anyone who uses just one of the Gods given sources of truth. A Christian college would be an advantage to me as I study both bible and academic subjects"

Pre-Modernism

-Atheistic Externalism- a philosophical theory or approach which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own acts of the will -There is no God/value -It's true because I feel it -Humans still have significant but existence proceeds essence -Because of evolution, people have developed a conscience -They are not human without a conscience and conscience starts when you make a choice. So, you are not human until you make a choice -Choice is what separates humans from everything else -This is where authentication, abortion, eugenics, and genocide comes from -Does not occur at the societal level yet.

Historical Criticism

-Historically we can trust the bible to be true never been a historical finding to be discrete that the bible is true. -No creditable historians Letheans believe that Jesus did not exist.

Pre Modern

-Knowledge and truth is going to start with God -Believe in objective truth -Objective truth comes from the Holy -Believes in the supernatural -There is more to discover outside of the universe _Empiricism comes from God=truth; based on Faith -Human nature is determined by God creating us or original sin -Ethics come from God because he says so

Modern

-Knowledge and truth start with man -Believe in objective truth -General knowledge based, no truth outside of the universe -There is no supernatural -Authority comes from science and human reason -Empiricism is determined by objectivism and imperialism and reasoning -Ethics are based on individualism

Post Modernism

-Knowledge and truth start with man -There is no objective truth/unknowable -Believes in supernatural by mysticism and not revelation meaning your own experience -There is no such thing as ultimate authority -Empiricism comes from social subjectivism -Human nature would be a social construct (countries and money) -Ethics based on collectivism

Modern

-Naturalism-everything is natural and there is no supernatural -Another word for Authentic Atheism -The study of material reality does no need the spiritual -Believe the universe is a closed system -All feelings are chemical reactions -Empiricism-we are prebiological machines -Main benefit: they have value for the things around them -Issue: morality, it relies on survival of the fittest --Modern Naturalism has to do with rape, tax fraud, stealing, murder, etc. -Based less on individual morality, but more on structure -Issue with knowledge of religion -Issue: Inherit morality, general revelation

Post Modernism

-Secular Humanism- a sense of naturalism in practice -Religious aspects pulled into naturalism without attributing it to a God-Less passive and more apathetic -More of an attitude than a belief -Biggest combative forms against the church -Separate from naturalism because they have purpose and value as humans, but its whatever they want it to be -Everything is connected without God involved -Believes in personhood -Issue: no attributions, you're the most important person in the room.

Pantheism

-Spirit comes into play -Eastern religion -Hinduism, Buddhism -Everything is God -The path through ones oneness is found in the universe -No values, no purpose, no meaning, no suffering, no disease -Can only exist in isolation

Foundational Authority Model (The worldview model)

-The idea that the bible gives us a foundation of all study -Fully faith-based model -Belief in God makes a difference in academic study -Faith affects the subject areas we take interest in -Faith affects the methods we use to study things -Faith should affect our interpretation of learning -All truth is Gods truth -This model does not try to separate but to explain -My biblical knowledge and Christian life have changed me so that I think in different ways now when I study in areas such as history, psychology, or literature. Calculus is pretty much the same, but I see so many things differently now in other areas of study. A Christian college is helpful to me if it teaches the Christain worldview as a foundation for thinking in all the academic disciples".
