Is Christian education really 'ministry'? <em>TEACH Journal of Christian Education, 7</em>(1), 14-19. doi:10.55254/1835-1492.1196https://doi.org/10.55254/1835-1492.1196https://research.avondale.edu.au/handle/123456789/04311474<p>Christian education is replete with terms and expressions that purportedly describe its character—‘Christ-centred education’, ‘teaching from a Christian perspective’, ‘Biblebased curriculum’, ‘redemptive discipline’, ‘servant ministry’, and so on. They are typically spontaneous expressions. To Christian educators, it seems a reasonable and proper way to describe the enterprise in which they are engaged. While each term or expression has particular connotations, the ideas they represent cluster around the notion of what constitutes ‘ministry’. It is not uncommon to hear Christian education referred to as ‘the ministry of teaching’. But is it just fanciful jargon and cliché? Or is Christian education really ‘ministry’?</p>en-usTeachingministryChristian teacherscurriculumJournal Article
