Is Faith the Purpose of ChristianEducation? FAITH IS THE overaLL purpose of everything we do as Christians, but education has a purpose in itself. Luther's model of the two governments is useful in thinking about the purpose of education. According to this, God governs his world through both his spiritual and his secular government. He has two purposes in what he does -both to save people and to make the world a good place to live. Education is primarily part of God's secular government, and its ultimate aim is the service of God by doing good to other people. Christian education, unlike liberal education, clairns that there is basicaLLy only one good life, namely the service of God. It teaches pupils about God and his salvation, but it cannot create or maintain faith.

MAKING THE IDEA of spiritual development practically workable in a pluralised context faces the formidable challenge of avoiding both watered-down apathy and acrimonious dispute between rival faiths. This is the claim of Brian Hill in a recent article on the subject. The present article critiques Hill's proposed solution and suggests a broader alternative framework based on the idea of multi-faceted human response to universal basic questions, outlining ways in which this framework might more fundamentally challenge existing curricula while retaining room for spiritual diversity.
