Opportunities Bob Jones University Frequently Asked Questions Privacy Statement Tips for Teachers Teaching a Christian Philosophy by William Pinkston, Jr., M.Ed.
Philosophy is a big, frightening word with several meanings.
The idea of teaching one daunts even the best teachers. But teaching a Christian philosophy is what Christian education is all about. Actually a philosophy is the substance of what one believes which affects what he does. It may be as simple as one believing that a bridge will not hold him and thus not crossing the bridge, or as complex and far reaching as basing one's life on the belief that there is no hell or Righteous Judge. A philosophy can be taught, but it is not as easy as teaching math facts or spelling words.
