Christian Philosophy of Education As we go through our day by day lives in a very secular world‚ I believe it is very easy to question ourselves as Christian educators.

According to Gaebelein in his book The Pattern of God’s Truth‚ “All truth is God’s truth.” As educators we are called upon to cultivate “Christlike minds” (Moreland). This is quite the task

Beowulf‚ this question came up: Is Beowulf a fundamentally Christian or pagan story? Many may argue‚ but the epic‚ Beowulf‚ is most definitely a Christian story.

the Article‚ “The Wild Life of Christian the Lion” by Tod Olson and the poem‚ “Wild Home‚” by Rebecca Kai Dotlich both had the same theme.

Christian Principles in Beowulf In the epic novel Beowulf‚ the Christian monk who narrates the story has bias because the characters in the story are not Christian.

The story originally had Pagan Saxon roots‚ but by the time that it was written down‚ almost all Anglo-Saxons had converted to Christianity. The Christian monk is motivated to put
