Why is it important for the Christian educator to know his/her answers to the questions asked by metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology?
-
It is important to know the answers to these difficult questions because they are bound to come up either in the classroom or later on in our students’ lives. We must help guide our students toward a Biblical worldview so that they are equipped to face difficult questions and scenarios from a Christian perspective.
-
We are called to be different and we need to be able to help guide our students to a Biblical view in the face of all of the worldly views. If we have not struggled with and sought the Lord’s wisdom on these questions, how are we going to guide our students?
-
The questions stirred up in everyday living can all be answered through the Word. So as we stay close to Him and ask Him for Wisdom, which He has promised to give His children who ask, we are supplied with important answers to the important questions everyone has while growing up in school.
-
Our knowledge and our answers should be aligned with the word of God.
-
Just like any subject, being knowledgeable help you give your students a deeper understanding. As you read different stories from the Bible, having a firm philosophy helps the educator draw out conclusions that are based on Biblical evidence. For example, knowing the juxtaposition of abject reality but having a God that is beyond that, helps educators explain stories in the Bible that helps shape the student’s own Biblical based philosophy.
