This course was written for Christian school educators who are interested in furthering their philosophical understanding of the Bible as it applies to the Christian school's curriculum and more specifically to five subject areas -- reading, language, science, mathematics, and history. You will learn in this course that biblical integration is more than reading a Bible verse; it is teaching a subject from God's point of view. The activities in this course will challenge you to analyze textual concepts, to analyze Scripture, to apply Scriptural truths to subject content, and to conceptualize academic/Bible truths.
