Christians should disciple those whom God has placed in their lives, including the children God gives them. And if discipleship includes children, then this has important implications for the Christian school.

In a previous post, I argued that many Christian schools have a weak theological curriculum because they do not value theology. Let me now make a positive case for why we should value theological education and why we should teach a theology course every year of high school. 

One thing that has amazed me about modern Christian schools is how few theological classes most of them teach. As I have looked at school curricula online, I have noticed that the typical Christian school only has one or maybe two Bible classes at the high school level. The neglect of theology is not a surprise in our intellectually impoverished society. But it appears that even Christian schools today are catering to academic frivolity.
