Abstract
Christian educators recognize the value of biblical wisdom. Indeed, one of the foremost objectives of a Christian liberal arts education is that all members of the learning community would pursue and attain wisdom. Although wisdom is important as an end goal of Christian liberal arts education, this article proposes that wisdom can also serve as its model, allowing the subject to structure the method. Specifically, six key traits that characterize biblical wisdom should also characterize Christian liberal education. Like wisdom, Christian liberal education should be foundationally theological, integrated, accessible, practical, and transformative, and should foster lifelong learning. Building on scholarship from both biblical studies and educational theory, this article discerns a link that needs to be recognized and proposes a model of viewing Christian liberal arts education that flows organically from its primary subject.
