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 needs to surround everything we do as educators. We include other resources/materials, but God’s Word encompasses it all.
-
This visual illustrates that the Bible is the book ends for everything that we do as educators.
-
Our curriculum should be surrounded by God’s word. It should be begin and end with God’s word.

I think this illustration shows how we should look at what we teach. The curriculum and scope and sequence are important but they need to be framed in God’s word. We need to look at each topic from a Biblical perspective and how we can weave that into every area that we teach. This also helps the student understand that all topics can be directed back to the word of God.

Dr. Black is illustrating that you cannot separate the Bible out of other subject content. They must be infused/integrated correctly otherwise, our Christian Philosophy cannot stand. Christian Curriculum cannot stand alone, it must be built upon and integrated with scripture as the foundation and woven into every subject and every aspect of our teaching. We must be able to articulate this clearly to our students and model it daily.
