Classical Education
The classical teaching method uses the Trivium teaching Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric as tools useful to students in their quest for knowledge, wisdom and maturity. The Trivium can be specified as follows:
- Grammar: The fundamental rules of each subject.
- Logic: The ordered relationship of particulars in each subject.
- Rhetoric: How the grammar and logic of each subject may be clearly expressed.
Dorothy Sayers noted in "The Lost Tools of Learning" [2] that child development can be linked to to the Trivium as follows:
- The Grammar Stage (K-6)
- The Logic Stage (6-9)
- The Rhetoric stage (9-12)
A more detailed discussion may be found at in The Lost Tools Chart .
In the Grammar stage, students are taught the core foundations of each subject (facts). Teaching here includes singing, drilling, chanting, and recitation. In the Logic stage, students are taught how to analyze, reason, question, evaluate, and critique. In the Rhetoric stage, students learn how to express what they know and what they are learning. Debate, apologetics, speech, essay writing, and drama are typically emphasized during this stage. This methodology is described in Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning. [3]
Christian Worldview
under revision
Christian worldview (also called Biblical worldview) refers to a collection of distinctively Christian philosophical and religious beliefs. James Orr is generally credited as the first modern theologian to organize Christian thought around the core idea of worldview.[4] A Christian worldview refers to the framework of ideas and beliefs through which a Christian individual, group or culture interprets the world and interacts with it. The term is typically used in one of three ways:
- The worldview consisting of the predominantly common elements among a group identifying themselves as Christian (e.g., the concept of a single "Christian worldview" on a range of issues);
- The worldview expressed by an individual identifying themselves as Christian; and
- The worldview of a "Christian" culture or society (e.g., Britain in the 1700s)
Common usage is the first. For example, Dorothy Sayers stated "We have rather lost sight of the idea that Christianity is supposed to be an interpretation of the universe." Cite error: There are <ref>

Background
Definition of a Worldview
According to Apostel,[5] a Worldview is an ontology, or a descriptive model of the world. It should comprise these six elements:
- An explanation of the world
- A futurology or eschatology, answering the question "where are we heading?"
- Values, answers to ethical questions: "What should we do?"
- A praxeology, or methodology, or theory of action.: "How should we attain our goals?"
- An epistemology, or theory of knowledge. "What is true and false?"
- An etiology. A constructed worldview should contain an account of its own "building blocks," its origins and construction.
Thus, the heart of a Christian Worldview is the ultimacy of God in reality, knowledge and ethics.[6] Examples of answering ethical questions are the Ten Commandments and with less precision What would Jesus do?
Definition of Christian
Although there are numerous Christian denominations, they share common core beliefs. The Nicene Creed is commonly cited as a statement of faith for these core beliefs in various denominations of Christianity, including Anglicanism, Roman Catholicism, and major Orthodox traditions. Some Christian denominations (e.g., Presbyterians, Methodists, and Congregationalists), prefer the Apostle's Creed and specifically address Christological issues in their denomination's statement of faith.
More Issues
First use of Christian Worldview
James Orr is generally credited as the first modern theologian to organize Christian thought around the core idea of “worldview,” in The Christian View of God and the World A. Elliot, Edinburgh, 1893; reprint, William B. Eerdmans, Grand Rapids,1948.

Worldviews Are A Universal of Human Existence <This section has issues - I tried to politely fix may need to zap>
Worldviews embrace the world as it exists in one's time, but only in relation to how the world is pictured by this or that person, this or that community or institution, tainted by possible agenda. A religious worldview can not only describe the beliefs and agenda of a group, but the style and tone of that worldview can reflect a general emotional state of those who speak for that group. For example, Christian worldviews reflected in British 19th Century Imperialist doctrine can strike the contemporary reader as patronizing and magnanimous in tone, reflecting both the need to reinforce the higher moral purpose of British hegemony but the largesse that the British Empire received from implementing this worldview. However, a truly Biblical Worldview should be invariant and capable of being separated from other presuppositions (e.g., British 19th Century Imperialist doctrine). It must be understood that Worldview as is being used in this article refers to a collection of axioms (presuppositions) that are held by a group referred to as Christians. Christians are a diverse group, but there are a minimum set of axioms they can agree upon. For example, there is a God, He is triune (Father, son and holy Ghost) and He has revealed Himself in the Bible (specific) and the world (general).
" Different denominations of Christianity have varying world views."
I find this statement in the article a bit harsh. It is true that different denominations vary in the details of what they believe. However, there is a core set of values I would suggest are help by all denominations which are Christian.
The link added:
makes this point to some degree.
Christian's by definition are followers of Christ......

Stuff
• Your Worldview determines what you base all truth statements on • Short for Biblical, Christian World View • A Biblical worldview places God at the center ( in contrast a humanistic worldview places man at the center)
- A Christian, Biblical Worldview places Christ at the center
- Take all thoughts captive for Christ - bible verse
• A Biblical worldview presupposes that God has revealed truth through the Bible • Knowledge and wisdom thus require understanding both the Bible and God as revealed in the Bible • There is no such thing as neutrality
- Every fact, every truth is understood in the light of a certain worldview.
- Thus for a Biblical Worldview this means that history, art, music, mathematics, science, etc., must all be taught in light of God’s existence and His revelation of His Son, Jesus Christ.
• A Biblical worldview must be more than a baptized secularism.
- It is not enough to take secular perspective, sprinkle it with prayer and Bible verses, and claim the result is somehow Christian or Biblical.
- Refer to traing up warriors for the Lord [be careful on wording due to terrorist threat issues] - bible verse
