In the premodern age, the wWestern world view came mostly from two sources: first, the Christian religion, which was mostly based on the teachings of the Bible and the Church’s interpretation of it, and the othersecondly, the philosophy of aAncient Greekce, especially that of Aristotle’s views.

You can also say, "In the premodern age, the Western worldview came mostly from two sources: first, the Christian religion, which was mostly based on the teachings of the Bible and the Church’s interpretation of it, and secondly, Ancient Greek philosophers, especially Aristotle".

Thomas Aquinas was the main intellectual figure in the mMiddle aAges who incorporated these two currentideas and shaped the world view of his era.

This world view was predicated on the assumption of the existence of a good and wise God, who had an on-going presence in all the components of the world.

His wisdom giaves a reasonable and understandable order to the framework of the world, and his goodness made the fear of living in a wild and unkind world tolerable.

In other words, the presence and the authority of this well-intentioned and wise being made the world united and familiar withto the scared and shied existence of humans, and therefore, the world became transformed from a threatening and frightening place to a safe and relaxing shelter or home.

Thus, the grand religious narrative made humans assimilated into the world,; that is to say, made a sort of life flow into the veins of the world, and made its structure look as if it was sensitive to the actions of humans and showed proportional and, often, predictable reactions to them.

Therefore, in the framework of this grand narrative, humans could, at least somewhat, tame the world’s destructive and rebellious forces such as death, natural disasters, injustice, and social violence through the propitiation of a wise and kind God.
