2019 Foundations Talk | 59:33 | All Grade Levels, Culture & Faith, Virtue, Character, Discipline
Summary
Paul tells Christian fathers to bring their children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord . One of the words he uses here in Ephesians 6 is paideia, which for the ancients was a loaded term. Shoe, and table, and glass are common nouns . Paideia is freighted with meaning, an abstract noun that was a big Hellenistic deal. My understanding of paideia in this sense (the sense I believe Paul is using) would be summed up with the word enculturation. But enculturation presupposes a culture, and so this workshop explores what the “paideia of God” might mean.
