The Bible was studied by students in its original Hebrew and Greek. They also read Greek classics in the original language. Many of the most brilliant leaders and thinkers were a direct result of classical Christian education. The challenging and rigorous education forces the students to think and reason, which is why it's a winning system. Sadly, the current educational system in the nation has dishonored the value of this commodity. With the irrational and classless changes that the current system makes, academic degrees show nothing about a person's thinking abilities. In contrast, education of the past, such as Classical Christian education, is equated with book knowledge and hard work. If you think about it, the ability to use reason, analysis, and perspective comes from reading. In Classical Christian education, this scholarly ability is developed in order to understand and apply the Scriptures. In Colonial America, education was not just Christian in the teachings of the Christian doctrine and faith, but also in classifying all reality by principles and teachings prescribed in the Bible. The colonial mind approached education, philosophy, and social theories through Christian lenses. Classical Christian education has been alive and well in America since the early 1900s. It's rooted not only in Christian values and principles, but also in high academic standards. The results have been phenomenal. Can we achieve the same results today? Is it even possible to teach in the same way when our teachers have absolutely no training in the classical method? Well, to start with, we need to use the tools we have. We can teach from the Bible. We can teach from centuries of classic texts. There are great works of literature, history, science, and theology that are translated into English. Though Christian Classical education may seem outdated, it is designed to produce a student who has the mental control and capability to read a profound book and write interesting, analytical essays on what was read. More than anything it is designed to bring a student back to God. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
