<\/div>

Classical Conversations is a Christian homeschool provider. If you look at our About<\/a> page, you\u2019ll discover that we focus on three primary domains: Classical, Christian, and Community. But what does that mean? What is a Christian education? And what is a Christian curriculum? And what should a Christian curriculum include?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the purpose of a Christian education, then dive into subject content, and then finally return to the question of purpose.<\/p>\n

(Note: \u201cChristian curriculum\u201d goes by many names: \u201cfaith-based curriculum,\u201d \u201cBible-based curriculum,\u201d \u201cChrist-centered curriculum,\u201d and so on. We\u2019ll stick with \u201cChristian curriculum\u201d for simplicity\u2019s sake.)<\/p>\n

What Is the Purpose of a Christian Education?<\/h2>\n

John Bunyan, the author of The Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em><\/a>, once said, \u201cYou can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Okay, that seems obvious enough. In fact, that maxim sounds like plain old common sense, but Bunyan\u2019s point is one that is often overlooked. When facing a trial, a struggle, or a simple need, the place to begin is prayer. Thus, Bunyan is encouraging his audience to begin at the beginning. Don\u2019t move on to the secondary principles until you have completed the primary ones.<\/p>\n

As Christian home educators, we would do well\u2014in fact we can do no less\u2014than to apply Bunyan\u2019s maxim to our educational enterprise. We have a wide array of resources available to assist us in our endeavor. For each and every subject we include in our curriculum, there are dozens and dozens of vendors peddling their homeschool helps. We homeschoolers have created an industry, and I, for one, am glad that so many businesses are developing resources for our use. However, in the midst of so many available resources, we are susceptible to forgetting Bunyan\u2019s advice of keeping first things first.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, here’s our first principle: a Christian curriculum begins with the Bible.<\/p>\n

The First Principle of a Christian Education: The Bible<\/h2>\n

If Christians begin at the beginning, we will remember that we are a people of the book, and not just any book. In the midst of all the choices, there is actually only one choice, for only one book contains all the books that were breathed by God himself. To apply John Bunyan\u2019s advice to our situation, \u201cYou can study more books than the Bible after you have studied the Bible, but you cannot study more than the Bible until you have studied the Bible.\u201d The Christian homeschool curriculum will contain more titles on the reading list than just the Bible, but it must begin there, lest it no longer qualify as Christian.<\/p>\n

Another point to remember as we consider the preeminent place of God\u2019s Word in our homeschool curriculum is that whether we are reading the very words of the Christian canon or reading some other book, we never leave the Word of God behind. If we think that the only time we are studying God is when we are reading from the pages of the Bible, we are missing the point of Scripture entirely.<\/p>\n

History in a Christian Curriculum<\/h2>\n

For example, when we study\u00a0history<\/strong>, we are studying the actions of creatures made in God\u2019s image as they live together on God\u2019s good earth, as well as his hand of providence in those actions. Every man, woman, and child; every situation; every decision made; every word spoken or action performed is either in accordance to God\u2019s will or against it. If we leave the Word of God behind when we open a history book, we entirely miss the point of studying history in the first place.<\/p>\n

Through the study of\u00a0history<\/strong>\u00a0we see God\u2019s providence unfold and his promises fulfilled throughout the generations of man. We see the world\u2019s most powerful rulers, nations, and armies hold their kingdoms for a few lifetimes; we are humbled by humanity\u2019s weakness and wickedness. By studying human rulers, we remember how good King Jesus is, how powerful he is, and how loving to lay down his life for sinners such as us. By studying history we are also inspired through great works accomplished by the most unlikely of heroes. We remember that God loves to do great things using seemingly insignificant people. We find entire empires converted through fearful prophets like Jonah, noble monks like Patrick, and unrelenting missionaries like Jim and Elizabeth Elliot. We remember that Christianity is always turning the world upside down, just like it did through the apostles long ago.<\/p>\n

Science in a Christian Curriculum<\/h2>\n

Another academic subject in the Christian\u2019s homeschool curriculum would be\u00a0science<\/strong>. When we study the earth, the weather, the rocks, the animals, the oceans, the fish, the sun, moon, and stars, etc., we are collecting and interpreting data from the handiwork of the One who created it all. Jesus made it all very beautiful and all very good. If we leave Him out of our scientific studies, we will miss the opportunity to praise him for his creation and miss his glorious purposes for it. If we forget his special revelation while investigating his natural revelation, we will miss seeing our place within it; we will miss the whole point of studying it.<\/p>\n

When God said, \u201cBe fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth,\u201d he meant it. He made us in his image with rational, creative minds, and five trustworthy senses, so that we could investigate, discover, analyze, create, build, and develop the world he placed us in. He invented science when he made us in his image, and then he gave it to mankind as a vocation.<\/p>\n

The study of\u00a0science<\/strong> results in more wonder-filled worshipers, but it also has practical benefits that can be used for the good of humanity. He intends for technology to relieve the burdens of mankind; he is the great Physician who loves to see sick people healed, whether miraculously or medicinally. He is also the one who loves to conceal a matter, so that kings can discover it. (Prov. 25:2) He is the God who designed Newton\u2019s mechanics, Einstein\u2019s relativities, and oddities of quantum mechanics. He loves both the particle and the wave so much that he decided to use them both\u2014at the same time, somehow.<\/p>\n

Math in a Christian Curriculum<\/h2>\n

When we study\u00a0math<\/strong>, we learn to speak the language of creation. From the smallest DNA strand to the largest galaxy, God decided to build them all based on the same ratio. I don\u2019t know exactly why the Golden Ratio is beautiful, but it must be the case for God used it everywhere. He is also the God who wanted parabolas, ellipses, and fractals to be the basic grammar of his creative speech. And even though\u00a0pi\u00a0<\/em>and most square roots are irrational, we can use them to measure much more precisely than we can imagine. He is the God who conceals; he is the God who reveals. He gives us predictable simplicity like 2+2=4, and he baffles the greatest intellect by placing gaps in an infinitely dense number line. How does he do both? He is one, and he is three. He is triune, and he loves to count. He has been from before the beginning.<\/p>\n

\n

Other Subjects in a Christian Curriculum<\/h2>\n

I am listing examples of specific subjects, but in reality, there is not a single area of academics that can be excluded from the study of our Creator, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

When we study\u00a0English, Latin, Greek,<\/strong>\u00a0or any language, we learn to communicate with our fellow image-bearers, as well as with the Word himself.<\/p>\n

When we study\u00a0logic<\/strong>, we learn to rightly use the rational mind that God has given us.<\/p>\n

When we\u00a0write<\/strong>\u00a0a story<\/strong>, we mimic the great storyteller.<\/p>\n

When we\u00a0write a poem<\/strong>, we imitate the great God who wrote the first theology manual through a Hebrew shepherd whom he chose to be king.<\/p>\n

And the study of\u00a0astronomy<\/strong>\u00a0is the unbelievable act of measuring that which we cannot reach. The stars defy our grasp and our count, but they can be understood; and they can be measured; and they do declare the glory of God.<\/p>\n

The list goes on and on, for whichever academic focus we choose, we are studying God directly or indirectly through something He has made.<\/p>\n

The Purpose of a Christian Curriculum: To Love God and to Love Our Neighbors<\/h2>\n

Concerning prayer, John Bunyan\u2019s maxim reminds us of a simple, yet indispensable truth\u2014we must begin at the beginning before we can ever move on to more.<\/p>\n

If we apply it to the Christian homeschool curriculum, we must begin with the book that begins, \u201cIn the beginning.\u201d We begin with God\u2019s Word; and we end with God\u2019s Word; and as Christians, we apply the truth of his Word to everything in between.<\/p>\n

And what we discover in between is a cosmos filled with wonders, from the inconceivably large to the imperceptibly small, to the person sitting across the table from us.<\/p>\n

We find God\u2019s goodness, truth, and beauty displayed in His creation\u2014a creation that cries out, yea, yearns for the day of redemption. And we are a people most assuredly blessed that Jesus Christ has come to make all things new. Through the study of God\u2019s Word and the study of God\u2019s world, we can better fulfill the purpose of education\u2014to love God with all our heart and to love our neighbors as ourselves.<\/p>\n

You, my dear reader, are an image-bearer of the eternal, triune God. He gave you a body, a soul, and a mind, all three of which need to be nurtured, cultivated, and pruned if you want to grow into a beautiful and fruitful vine. No matter where you are in your lifelong, educational journey, there is always a step forward to be made.<\/p>\n

Further Resources to Learn More about a Christian Curriculum<\/h2>\n

Below is a list of resources that I have read over the past few years that have opened doors into the glories of God\u2019s creation, which, at the time, I didn\u2019t even know existed. I commend them to you and pray you will be greatly blessed as you discover more of God\u2019s goodness, truth, and beauty through his Word, his world, and his Son, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
