Learning in this sense is not individualistic rediscovery of all of creation's formulae. Teaching is not haphazard license or curiosity sans guidance. Christian teaching introduces new learners to this conversation and elicits their participation. Teaching advances understanding through disciplined exploration. If submission to a community's discoveries is an essential step in a learner's growth, so the posing of problems is an essential step in the learner's progress.
Teaching is a conserving task, but it is also discontent and explorative.
Teaching overcomes creation's fallen resistance by challenging the inertia of knowledge hierarchies and moral quietude. Teaching itself resists the fatigue of discovery but insists that creational mysteries still require fresh energy and renewing collegiality. No disciplinary language is set, no encyclopedia has been published in final edition. By awakening the curiosity and guiding toward communitarian dialogue, teaching quickens the appetite for understanding and encourages novel articulation of discovery's results. Teaching transforms by applying moral courage to discovery.
