| Summary: | IT IS A basic assumption of most Christian educational discussion that there can be some fruitful relationship between the Bible and education. This idea has, however, not gone unchallenged, and even its proponents often understand the relationship in unnecessarily narrow terms. This article summarises findings from a research project on ways of understanding the Bible's possible influence upon education. It considers in turn the role of the Bible as content, the teacher's character, inferences from beliefs, the potential of metaphor and narrative, and the significance of the canon. |
