A deep dive into Christian worldview education in the classroom from Summit Ministry’s Center for Biblical Worldview Formation, hosted by Dr. Roger Erdvig and Dr. Maggie Pope.
What if history is about far more than memorizing names, dates, and events?
In the first episode of this three-part series, Roger Erdvig and Maggie Pope explore what it means to understand history from within a biblical worldview. Roger introduces his new book, Teach Biblically: History—A Guide for Seeing History Within a Biblical Worldview, and explains why teachers need a clear philosophy of history before turning to classroom strategies.
Together, Roger and Maggie discuss three essential purposes for studying history: preserving a people’s story, gaining wisdom for living well in the present, and discerning God’s interaction with His creation. They also examine Luke and Paul as biblical models for doing history—pursuing certainty about the past, carefully interpreting what happened, and applying its lessons to our lives today.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why adding Bible verses to a history lesson is not the same as teaching history biblically
Why many Christian educators struggle to connect their faith with their subject area
How history helps students understand their identity and live wisely
Why truth about the past matters for navigating the present
What Luke and Paul teach us about the work of a historian
Why teachers must develop a biblical philosophy of history before focusing on pedagogy
How multiple perspectives can help us form a fuller and more truthful picture of past events
Whether you teach history full-time, include it as part of an elementary curriculum, or teach your children at home, this conversation will help you move beyond facts and dates to see history as a meaningful exploration of truth, human choices, and God’s work in the world.
