Biblical Worldview Integration at Liberty University

Integrating biblical worldview into academics is critical to a well-rounded Christian education. While important, this approach involves more than reading a Bible verse at the beginning of a lecture, having a devotional, or praying in class. Full integration advances this approach to incorporate the critical examination of academic content from a Christian student’s perspective.

Biblical Worldview Integration (BWI) identifies how God’s brilliant design is found across all disciplines. And it helps to explain how this identification reveals the very nature of God, man, creation, purpose, redemption, salvation, and order.

BWI is a necessary ingredient in a student’s search for truth, reason, and morality. It’s also essential to a student’s academic, social, and spiritual development.
