Christians as Teachers: What Might it Look Like? (Revised 2nd edition)

How does teaching Christianly differ from other forms of teaching? How might a Christian teach, a 'commonplace set of facts', from a mandated secular curriculum, in a biblical way? This book considers what may be involved in a biblical approach to teaching as it emerges from a biblically grounded life, and what this might look like in the classroom. Rather than speaking of 'integration of faith and learning', it begins with a foundation of Christ, the Truth and Lord of all, including all curriculum subjects, and moves to the development of a framework for classroom practice that includes a need to try to see things from God's perspective.All truly Christian education is seen, therefore, as a profoundly biblical pursuit leading to the revelation of God. In order to demonstrate this, the book explores the underlying principles out of which our education should flow. These principles then allow us to consider such areas as a Christian way to teach any subject, or even what might be distinctive about the way a Christian teacher may do something as mundane as picking up a pencil!
