2022 Workshop Talk | 44:41 | All Grade Levels, General Classroom
Summary
All education, whether growth in knowledge of skill, aims at maturity. In this workshop, we will explore the biblical vision for maturation through the lens of the three key offices of priest, king, and prophet. This “biblical Trivium” not only offers a fruitful paradigm for education, but also offers intriguing parallels with the classical Trivium as presented by Dorothy Sayers and Douglas Wilson. The hope is that by focusing on this biblical progression, we can plant our classical vision of education in a richer and more biblically faithful soil.
