Question

What is the Classical Worldview and how does it relate to the Biblical Worldview?

Please give a long, detailed answer

Answer 1

There was no “Classical Worldview.” Classical antiquity was made up of numerous differing cultures, none of which created one worldview. For example, Roman culture of the early Republic was very different from Athenian, Etruscan or later Punic culture. Even within Greece there was never a unified worldview. The Spartans were distinct from all their neighbors and held different cultural views. “Biblical Worldview” is a modern 20th century phenomenon that didn’t exist in antiquity.
