Compartmentalization. Some have said that Christian Education should be compartmentalized and shouldn’t impact other areas of study and life.
Francis Schaeffer has a different opinion:
“True Christian education is not a negative thing; it is not a matter of isolating the student from the full scope of knowledge. Isolating the student from large sections of human knowledge is not the basis of a Christian education. Rather it is giving him or her the framework for total truth, rooted in the Creator’s existence and in the Bible’s teaching, so that in each step of the formal learning process the student will understand what is true and what is false and why it is true or false. It is not isolating students from human knowledge. It is giving the tools in the opening the doors to all human knowledge, in the Christian framework so they will know what is truth and what is untruth, so they can keep learning as long as they live, and they can enjoy, they can really enjoy, the whole wrestling through field after field of knowledge. That is what an educated person is.”
Christian Education should be an eye opener. It should open our eyes to see God in every facet of our lives. True Christian education doesn’t block us from the truth, but instead is a gateway to the ultimate Truth.
And that is what we here at LEV will hope to accomplish. We hope to offer Christian Educational tools so that we will know “what is truth, and what is untruth”.
