dc.description.abstract<p>Biblical truths and Christian values underpin all genuine Christian education. If we are to educate resilient and committed Christian young people who have developed the skills, techniques and moral courage to use this knowledge in an informed and practical way, it is imperative that teachers convey and transmit these truths and values in an engaging and realistic manner. Because children are most susceptible and impressionable during the early years of their schooling the earlier these concepts are conveyed by committed and knowledgeable Christian teachers, the greater the opportunity for positive outcomes.</p>
