History of Ideas

Worldviews that shaped the West — and how to test them

$25 per student · one-time

Every live cultural fight is downstream of an idea — about the self, about history, about whether truth is real. This is not a philosophy survey and not a theology class. Students watch a claim leave a philosopher’s page and enter revolutions, law, and the slogans on their phones, then trace it back and test it against Scripture.

Survey in 8 parts

  1. 01What Is a Worldview? — worldview basics
  2. 02The Greek Foundation
  3. 03Christian Synthesis
  4. 04The Reformation
