Postmodernism presents a challenge to the Christian view of epistemology. What are some practical ways you, as a Christian educator, can respond to this challenge?
-
One of the most practical ways that I can respond to this challenge is by telling my students that there are things that we know are true, but then, we cannot rely in our human senses and feelings to reveal every truth. That’s when faith and confidence in God plays a crucial role. We are His creation, learning about the world around us. We don’t own the truth, God does.
-
Epistemology is “knowing”. We can share what we know about God with our students.
-
Be ready with soft spoken truths. Refer back to scripture. Have practical and real life examples of scripture and it’s relevance.
-
As a science teacher, I get to emphasize the value of interpreting the cosmos objectively. Students often bring up the inconsistencies in PMism.
-
I feel we live in a very self centered world, and everything must be pleasing to us and if not it gets discarded: things, jobs or people, it doesn’t matter.
Feelings are so important yet, God teaches us that feelings are deceiving and that fools trust in everything but God.
Society constantly switches between wanting proof and science to ignoring what is it is obvious. That is why God according to them is not real, yet topics like abortion, transgenderism and homosexuality are still “up” for debate.
