What does Dr. Teague mean when he says, “Integration was never the legitimate starting point for a godly pedagogy”?
-
Godly pedagogy must necessarily begin with the instructor’s personal encounter with Jesus Christ and transformation by the Holy Spirit. The instructor has to be a student of God’s Word in order to properly integrate the Bible into the curriculum.
-
How can the two ever meet? Godly teaching will never be integrated, it can stand alone. That being said, a Biblical Worldview can’t be created without Godly teaching. God’s Word is complete, lacking nothing. In truth then, the curriculum is lacking if Godliness is not incorporated.
-
Dr. Teague means that you shouldn’t take two separate ideas (starting points) and blend them together, but rather start with the one and only foundation, which is God’s word, then infuse it into everything that you do.
-
Dr. Teague means that a godly pedagogy has its roots in God and His Word and everything else is reliant/subordinate so that it is impossible to remove one from the other. In Him, they cohere.
-
Everything that is taught should not just have a sprinkle of scripture in it but be surrounded by God’s word.
