Inklings on Philosophy and Worldview: Inspired by C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, and J.R.R. Tolkien (Engaged Schools Curriculum)

Teens live in a complicated world. They are constantly bombarded by messages from their friends, parents, teachers, the internet, and their churches, and not all of these messages agree or line up with each other. How do students figure out who to listen to? How do they figure out what is true?

Inklings on Philosophy and Worldview will show teens practical ways to filter out the wrong messages and focus on what is real. Using teachings from highly respected, loved, and well-known writers, teacher Matthew Dominguez will show teens the power of story as he guides them through a study of world religions, philosophies, and worldview, and gives them a firm foundation to stand on as they prepare to face the world.

How Can You Know What to Believe?
Matthew Dominguez brings a fresh, accessible, and philosophical approach to worldview, nurturing honest and honoring conversations between people of all beliefs along their faith journeys. He examines faith through the lens of the spiritual and the material―the two basic elements needed to grasp the nature of reality―as he explores the four major worldviews: idealism, materialism, monism, and theism.

This three-part book will:

• Unpack the concepts that dictate each individual’s worldview.
• Explain the four philosophic worldviews and their foundational elements.
• Invite readers to explore Christ as the fullness of reality and move beyond philosophy and religion into a meaningful and personal relationship with Christ.

Matthew Dominguez introduces students to a revolutionary approach to understanding the world through a Christ-centered, biblical worldview with a call to discipleship. His insights empower readers to change the way they think and talk about worldview, helping them to make their faith their own by knowing what they believe and why.
