Explain, in your own words, Dr. Black’s visual of a book in the middle of two Bibles. What is she illustrating with this visual?
-
God’s word must surround everything I do inside and outside the classroom. The Bible provides the framework and the worldview with which the world can be understood.
-
The Bible is the foundation and also the last element of every educational process. Every thing we know and do as educators needs to be surrounded by the scripture.
-
Dr. Black’s visual of the curriculum, school books, and materials between the Bibles represents the priority of teaching God’s Word as a foundation and as the last thing of importance. The Christian educator should teach every subject through God’s Word. A Biblical worldview is a must in a Christian school.

Whatever
standard we are upholding must have contents in line with the scripture, which
is the word of God. We should base our curriculum, textbooks etc. in contents
with the scriptural principles.-
The book represents all our teaching materials, including curriculum, standards, and assessments. Like a sandwich filling, everything we do as Christian educators should be encapsulated in the scriptures.

Dr. Black is emphasizing that everything we do as educators needs to be surrounded by Scripture. I would even argue that another Bible could be placed in the middle between the curriculum and the textbooks, as we should be integrating Scripture in and throughout our lessons.
