Integrating faith & learning

Integrating faith & learning

Christopher Bryans raises a good question for Christian teachers of all stripes:

How do you view Biblical integration and how would it take place in the history classroom (beyond the typical moralizing or use of out of context scripture that I have observed)?

What resources would you (and others) recommend for teachers in Christian schools (in any discipline) to sharpen their integration skills? I am familiar with the works of Noll, Marsden, Stout, Hatch, and others for history and Ryken and yourself in literature (although I donโ€™t teach lit who can teach history without it?). Iโ€™m reading your book on post-modernism right now.

I have a blog http://www.jesusandclio.blogspot.com/ primarily for teachers in the social studies/history disciplines but really, for anyone interested in integrating our faith with scholarship. I would be honored to have the subscribers to Cranach add their input from time to time, particularly those who are educators and those with a passion for history.

Any suggestions? Do you accept such notions as integrating Christianity with various subjects? Or are the subjects in line with Christianity as they are? Do we teach Christian โ€œworldview,โ€ as one among many? Or does Christianity give us more like a meta-framework for understanding everything?
