What is education? How and why do educators do what we do? And, in what way can and ought education be distinctively Christian? These are a few of the probing questions for which this book seeks answers. Among other contributions, Currivean's book explores a biblical philosophy of Christian education with unprecedented breadth and depth. To accomplish this objective, it considers what education is (chapter 1), what philosophy of education is (chapter 2), and what the ultimate goal of education is (chapter 3). Additionally, this book provides a never-before, Christian overview of twelve philosophies of education (chapters 4-15). Each of those chapters provides an introduction of a particular philosophy of education and some of that philosophy's exemplars. Each of those chapters also contributes a constructive, Christian critique. Chapter 16 highlights a biblical philosophy of Christian education--featuring some people, some principles, and some priorities for a biblical philosophy of Christian education, viz. pursuing excellence for the glory of God.

Industry Reviews

“Currivean has given the twenty-first-century church a gift with this exhaustively researched treatment of Christian education and its unique foundational principles. Through his painstaking analysis of philosophical schools of education, past and present, Currivean makes conceptual room for his own compelling vision of what Christian education can and should be. This will be a seminal text for administrators, teachers, pastors, parents—anyone aspiring to educate in a way that is profoundly (not merely superficially) Christian.”
—H. Chris Ross, Adjunct Professor of History emeritus, Houston Baptist University

“Currivean has masterfully presented and defended a Christian philosophy of education. Situating that philosophy in the broader history of educational theory and practice, he demonstrates the value and superiority of a truly Christian approach to learning. This book will be an invaluable resource to the church and to Christian educators.”
—Steven B. Cowan, Professor of Philosophy and Religion, Lincoln Memorial University
