For over 50 years, a group of Christians has cultivated a movement to revitalize Christian education at secular universities. These leaders formed centers for Christian thought (CCT) to reengage the Christian faith with the "intellectual" life (and vice-versa) and work with students, staff, and faculty within American universities. At…

This study employs an expert-novice research design to examine how five Latter-day Saint scholars and five Latter-day Saint youths read Scripture. Qualitative analyses of semi-structured interviews and verbal protocols point to six practices participants used: theorizing scriptural possibilities, connecting to Scripture, applying Scripture,…

Biblical worldview integration is a distinguishing mark of a Christian school (Burton & Nwosu, 2003). However, it is improbable that teachers will successfully integrate a biblical worldview if they do not first hold that worldview themselves. The purpose of this qualitative investigation was to enhance understanding of the professional…

This study will focus on biblical texts and Hebrew cultural evidence to assert that Christian education in the home was mandated by God as a function of parental leadership (Anthony, 2006; Birch, 1983; Bunge, 2008; Cox, 2006; French, 2013; Hall, 1981; Van Niekerk & Breed, 2018). An examination of the biblical text will support the claim that…

Educators throughout the world are deeply concerned about what ChatGPT means for education. I argue that Christian educators must avoid extreme reactions and fulfill three key roles to remain focused on students' holistic formation: (1) casting a moral vision of truthfulness; (2) evaluating curricula, syllabi, and formal assessments while also…

Tensions across religious and LGBTQ concerns have played out in education for some time. In this paper, I make efforts to respond productively to this context by theorising what it might mean for young people in religious schools to dissent from the heteronormativity of religion in religious education (RE). To do this, I survey perspectives across…
