Abstract
If there was ever a time in history when Christian teachers needed to present their students with a balanced view of what is happening in the world around them, it is right now. The world is a confusing place and is changing every day in ways we could not have imagined only a few years ago. This chapter presents a case for a Christian approach to teaching and learning that aims to conserve many Christian beliefs and traditions that have served us well over many years. It also challenges us to be open-minded enough to adapt our biblical principles to a changing culture. The overriding theme is, as a teacher, what would Jesus do?
