Resources Available in and through the PBA Library 

 for the Intentional Integration of the

Christian Worldview Into the Whole Curriculum

Prepared by

Phil Estes, Associate Librarian

and the Reference Librarians of the

Palm Beach Atlantic University Library

January 2006

The goal in preparing this library pathfinder has been to bring together a variety of resources in several formats, so that the students and faculty members of Palm Beach Atlantic University may develop an understanding of the nature and significance of a worldview, discover some of the issues that are affected by one’s worldview, and observe the contrast of the Christian worldview with competing views of reality. 

 

The pathfinder contains a selective not an exhaustive bibliography. This is a “living” document; send your suggestions for additions and/or brief annotations to library@pba.edu. Note that books with call numbers are in the PBA collection; others may be obtained through interlibrary loan.
