Crucial Questions: An Apologetics Catechism

Worldview

Question 1: What questions do worldviews answer?

Answer: Worldviews must answer five questions.

Comment: Any worldview must seek to answer five questions. These five questions are fundamental to understanding the world and humanity itself.

1. The question of Truth: What is truth? How is it determined?

2. The question of Origin: How did the universe begin? How did humanity get here?

3. The question of Meaning: What is the purpose of life? How does one derive meaning for his or her existence?

4. The question of Morality: Does right and wrong exist? What is the source for understanding questions of ethics?

5. The question of Destiny: What will happen to the universe? What happens when we die? Is there existence after death or not?

Scripture: “From Issachar there were 200 leaders and all their relatives at their command—they understood the times and knew what Israel should do.” (I Chronicles 12:32, NET)
