“…In the process, use theological, hermeneutical and eschatological perspectives to conceptualise education for environmental sustainability and "creation care" as an intrinsically Christian endeavour whereby the plight of the poor and needy is attended to according to both physical and spiritual dimensions. Chapter 5 reimagines Christian schools by arguing that approaches to the integration of faith and academic learning can be reimagined holistically in the form of revelatory learning communities (Murison and Benson 2018).…”

This chapter introduces the reader to the notion of learning and loves in relation to Christian education. In particular, it draws from James K. A. Smith's (2016a) keynote address at the 2016 research symposium "Learning and Loves: Reimagining Christian Education" and sketches a range of contemporary perspectives on the nature and purpose of Christian education today. Critical to this discussion is the educator's understanding of what it means to be human and Smith's (2016a) presupposition that "every pedagogy implicitly assumes an anthropology". Given that Christian education has been shown to be concerned with the making of 'whole' persons (Holmes 1987; Ream and Glanzer 2013), holistic approaches that are both theoretically grounded and practically beneficial are critical to and for such a transformative endeavour. This discourse also introduces the content and organisation of the book Reimagining Christian Education: Cultivating Transformative Approaches, which focuses on some of the manifold facets, expressions and experiences of Christian education encountered in innovative contemporary research and practice today. The book is organised into five thematic sections and includes the introduction of both theoretical perspectives and pedagogical methods and tools, which are field-tested and practice-approved: (1) Conceptual Perspectives; (2) Pedagogical Implications; (3) Inclusive Education and Hospitality; (4) Trends in Learning, Business and Technology; (5) Promoting Reconciliation and Social Justice. By looking at Christian education through the lens of James K. A. Smith, this chapter offers fresh perspectives on (re)imagining education as the passionate pursuit of learning and teaching by lovers of God.

“…While there are solutions to the first two issues above, the reality is that it does take additional time and effort to successfully integrate a Christian worldview into business courses. Murison (2018) makes a disturbing observation that Christian schools that do not allow a biblical worldview to make a significant impact on their operations are merely an adaptation of their secular counterparts.…”

Business faculty at Christian colleges and universities are oftentimes challenged to teach from a Christian worldview. It can be difficult to teach from a Christian worldview without a structure or framework for doing so. This article will define a Christian worldview then offer a framework consisting of five questions that can be answered through a creation, fall, redemption, and restoration narrative for business faculty to employ in their respective disciplines. This framework will be explained theoretically, and then some practical applications will be provided.
