The Cultural Crisis

Education (part 28)

Many Christian schools do not truly recognize the extent of our cultural crisis. They might recognize the fact that our secular culture and schools are falling apart. Yet, there is apparently little recognition that our evangelical culture has similar problems. The modern church often does not have a distinctive Christian worldview either—it has no epistemological center. The Christian church at large is therefore in dire need of reformation according to the Scriptures. Until that happens, most Christian schools will continue to reflect the superficial nature of the modern evangelical faith. Christian schools are a cultural manifestation of a particular Christian subculture. If that subculture is in an epistemic crisis of faith, the schools will reflect it.
