Liberty RLGN 104: Christian Life and Biblical Worldview
RLGN 104 examines what a biblical worldview is and how it compares with competing worldviews, rounding out Liberty's religion core alongside BIBL 104 and THEO 104. The course is known for its written assignments, including a multi-part biblical worldview essay developed across the sub-term.

Build my RLGN 104 study planWhat makes it hard
The worldview paper is the center of gravity: it has specific structural and content requirements, a word count to manage, and a rubric that rewards engaging the assigned framework precisely rather than writing a general faith reflection. Students who treat it like a casual essay lose points on the mechanics.
What you'll cover
- • What a worldview is
- • The biblical worldview framework
- • Creation, fall, and redemption
- • Comparing competing worldviews
- • Worldview and ethical decisions
- • Applying worldview to vocation
The RLGN 104 study guide
How to study for Liberty RLGN 104, step by step.
- 1
Read the worldview paper rubric in week one
The multi-part essay is RLGN 104's center of gravity, and most lost points are structural, not theological. Know its required elements and word counts before the sub-term gets busy.
- 2
Outline the paper against the framework early
Map your outline directly onto the creation-fall-redemption structure the course teaches. A general faith reflection, however sincere, doesn't match what the rubric rewards.
- 3
Keep the weekly checks from slipping
The discussion-and-quiz cadence runs underneath the paper the whole sub-term. Steady weekly engagement keeps the smaller points flowing while the essay develops.
- 4
Draft and revise in separate sittings
Write each part of the paper days before its deadline, then return with fresh eyes to check it against the rubric line by line. The mechanical requirements reward exactly this kind of second pass.
