God's world according to God's word

How do we as Christian parents and educators welcome our students into an educational journey that ignites curiosity for God’s world according to God’s word? How do we seek to integrate biblical truth and wisdom into all our teachings across subjects in ways that invite our students into deeper biblical literacy and challenges them to consider the biblical foundation present in all knowledge?

This book is a guide for parents and educators, providing a framework for biblical integration in the classroom. Rooted in biblical literacy, this framework includes foundational elements for biblical integration as well as principles and practices for a life focused on biblical truth. All things hold together in Christ, the Living Word, who continues to walk with us on a figurative road to Emmaus, opening the Scriptures to us as one cohesive word that guides all of life.

Sadly, the last few years of research and observation clearly show that something is clearly lacking in the spiritual nurture of the young in our schools, homes, and churches. Whatever it is we have been doing has not resulted in preparing students for a lifetime of biblically-faithful, whole-life Christian discipleship. Rather, the Christian faith seems to be a compartmentalized add-on to a host of other self-directed pursuits.

Calvin Troup’s A Framework for Biblical Integration and Learning both names and remedies what is at the root of this crisis: a lack of biblical integration into every nook and cranny of life. This practical and hope-filled book, which is for such a time as this, is one I will recommend to educators, parents, pastors, and youth workers, as it sets a clear path forward for effectively fulfilling our high-calling and privilege to nurture children and teens in the faith.
