Review # 1 was written on 2011-06-05 00:00:00 Evan Mcgovern This was an excellent, well-written book outlining the importance of philosophical understanding for educators. The author does an excellent job of surveying the foundations of philosophy, the components of philosophy, and the modern philosophical positions. Then the author connects those philosophical views to our modern educational system including curriculum, methods, etc. The author clearly lays out what a biblical philosophy of education should look like and moves this understanding into how this philosophy should impact the educator. The author even touches on what a biblical philosophy of education might look like for the educator who is working in the public school system. This was actually an easy read considering the depth of information and the academic writing style. This book helped me think through my own biblical philosophy of education and what that needs to look like for me as a Christian teacher in a Christian school. It is not enough to make claims of being a Christian or state that I have a biblical philosophy of education. What does this look like in my classroom? How does this impact my teaching, my relationships, my curriculum? It must impact every area of my educational experience. If it does not, it is not valid.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-07-02 00:00:00 Raven Nanie Although this book was for a class, it is a relatively easy read on educational philosophies through history and the compelling reasons to create one's own educational philosophy based on a Christian foundation.
