Christian Approach To Secular Theory

150 Words1 Page

Irene, I am confused that are you trying to apply Christian perspectives to explain Maslow’s theory or you want to prove that our Christian perspective can be parallel with Maslow’s theory. You also mention in your introduction that “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs will be used as one example for generating thinking about how to apply a Christian perspective to a secular theory.” So, do you actually want to focus on listing out how to apply Christian perspective to secular theory? If your focus is definitely about Maslow’s theory, you may just focus on the discussion on the relationship between human needs and what the Bible says about humanity or our needs. If your focus is about explaining how to apply Christian perspective in Maslow’s (or any)

    According to Nicholi Jr. (2002) our worldview, “helps us understand where we come from, our heritage; who we are, our identity; why we exist on this planet, our purpose; what drives us, our motivation; and where we are going, our destiny” (p. 7). The biggest strength of a worldview is that it enables an individual to form a theory of his or her own reality. The individual then utilizes this concept of reality and its ideals to understand the world in which they live in. For instance, my Christian Worldview is solely based on the solid foundation of God’s inspired Word.

  • Summary Of Kinnaman's Unbiased Assessment Of Christianity

    I agree with Kinnaman’s unbiased assessment of Christianity and I find his research extremely helpful, because it provides us with a clear idea and an approximation of the precise degree of disdain and distrust others have towards the Christian faith. Furthermore, his research permits us to stand apart and examine ourselves as Christians. Kinnaman’s research results uncovered the most common points of skepticism and objections raised by outsiders towards the church and Christianity (Kinnaman, 2007). According to Kinnaman, the six issues or themes outsiders have against believers are the following: 1) Hypocritical 2)

    I think that Secular Humanism should be considered as a religion because religion is a fundamental set of beliefs and practices, so you necessary have to believe in god/gods to be in a religion. If all religions have special rights then Secular Humanism should have special rights as well, just because they don 't believe in god/gods doesn 't mean they should be treated any different than other religions. Every person has different beliefs, they might not be the same as yours but should still treat them with

Kilpatrick says that the world tries to get along without religion, and shows how it does not work.

    Almost all Americans have heard the phrase “separation of church and state.” However, fewer realize the magnitude of the phrase. Contrary to some people’s beliefs, the majority of the Founding Fathers were deists or had a belief in a God who created the universe but does not interact with it. They understood how religion could ruin governments and needed to be separated in their new nation. The Founding Fathers purposefully left out religion from all government documents and never mentioned the Bible or other religious text while creating the United States.

    Richard Coleman writes an excellent article called, Saving Original Sin from the Secularists. In this article, he emphasizes the aim of secularists to downplay the depravity of humanity and instead elevate the possibility of humans being able to change themselves into better people; thereby, avoiding all evil. Of course, the premise is false and Coleman points out that theologians have always held to sin being “something fundamental about the human condition. ”1 Furthermore, Coleman points to the Great Tradition of the church by stating three essential beliefs about sin, “the universality of sin, the inexorableness of sin, and the necessary link between sin and grace.

    The Christian Sociological parts, have influenced each other in the past. Christian churches in U.S. society still maintain importance because "approximately 80 percent of Americans...identify themselves as Christian; many of the new immigrants in fact are Christian, e.g., those from Haiti, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Central America" (Caiazza, 2010, p. 190).

    In relation to Christianity, Ninian Smart’s Seven Dimensions of religion seem to all be at play and sometimes overlap between dimensions. But because Christianity is such a vast religion with many subdivisions and differing views, certain dimensions that are consistent throughout the differing sects play a greater role than other dimensions that are less consistent across sects. Consistently prioritized in this religion are the aspects of the ritual or practical dimension, the ethical or legal dimension, and the experiential or emotional dimension. For Christianity, the ritual or practical dimension applies to the various forms of worship, prayer, and other practices of the Christian church.

    Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Countless psychologists have theorized about human behavior, but few theories have had the impact that Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs has had. Maslow was looking to explain the motivation behind people’s actions. He developed his theory to represent the needs people need to meet to be comfortable in their living situations. Based on Maslow’s theory, phycologists can determine why people partake in the actions they do. For example, people who do not feel belonging and love as children are more likely to join gangs or other organizations to gain a sense of belonging.
