Abstract

Postmodernism gravely calls into question the feasibility of a modern educational enterprise since postmodern relativism appears to undercut the possibility of justification, both inside and outside of education. As a result, some educators believe that postmodernism is the declared end of education. This article presents a biblical worldview as the unifying theme for the combination of knowledge and religion in higher education. The biblical story has significance for the Christian faith and Christian ethics and serves as a strong basis for a complete worldview to face the challenge of the postmodern world. According to this viewpoint, the biblical story offers solutions to the most important problems in life, such as: Who are we? We are where? What is the issue? What is the remedy? The biblical story offers a strong basis for an all-encompassing worldview that responds to these concerns and aids in resolving any potential separation in our lives were postmodern gives questions in higher education.
