Every Curriculum Is a Discipleship Program

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. ~ Proverbs 22:6

Education is never merely the transfer of information. Every curriculum teaches a view of God, man, truth, authority, and freedom. In The Philosophy of the Christian Curriculum, Rushdoony argues that every curriculum is a discipleship program, shaping the beliefs and loyalties of the next generation according to a particular faith and worldview.

Here’s some of what you you’ll discover:

Every Curriculum Has a God - The question is never whether religion will be taught, but which religion will shape a student's understanding of reality.

The State Inevitably Teaches the Religion of the State - Education is one of the primary ways a culture perpetuates its values and secures its future.

Humanism Is Not Neutral - Modern education often presents itself as objective while quietly discipling students in the faith of autonomous man.

Every Subject Reflects a Worldview - History, science, mathematics, literature, government, and law are all taught from religious presuppositions.

Christian Education Requires More Than Bible Class - A truly Christian curriculum must be reconstructed from the ground up according to Biblical truth.

The Future of Civilization Is Shaped Through Education -Whoever controls the curriculum ultimately influences the direction of a culture.

This book challenges Christians to rethink education from its foundations and to recover a distinctly Biblical philosophy of learning, teaching, and cultural discipleship.
