Philosophy can make people think on their deepest level of existence. This leads to have
some key elements which are drawn from Judeo-Christian scriptures. One of the element is
biblical scholarship. This plays a very important role within the Christian educators who intend
to become the biblical scholars. Through the biblical scholarship, sound theology helps in
fostering the love for God and also helps in lending a credibility towards teaching. It also
compels the students to learn or realize that the person who is teaching them, is imparting truth
on them and not the personal opinion. The other element is truth not subject. Due to most people
being raised through the public schools and nonspiritual colleges, most of them have been
cultivated with that knowledge of education and evaluation of individual subjects. Therefore, the
main goal for teaching is to help people get a certain knowledge (Childs, 2015).
The Bible clearly brings out moral and divine instruction for the believers in a general
way. This is because the Bible residences itself as a high value for the knowledge of God and His
own exertion. It helps in the description of moral and divine fruits that are for knowledge. It also
helps to define the ultimate purpose for it. Present Christian movement can be comprehended
only as the part that is very significant in the total endeavor for Christian education. Full
understanding for the movement needs a cross examination that is aimed at learning the basis of
educational theory and the practices. Accordingly, there is a well laid down procedure namely;
presentation for basic beliefs that are for Christian education and secondly, the application of the
beliefs for specific mission of Christian school (Entwistle, 2015).
