Our task is to communicate and discuss what the Biblical text actually says, indeed, it is NOT to give it our best
guess or to arbitrarily seek the opinions of others.
![Page 20: Connect3 “Class” Overview “Class” Purpose Theology Matters Curriculum Modern/Postmodern Learning Process Learning Loop.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ea85503460f94bab4cb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Class consensus does not equate to truth. For instance, everyone agrees
that “money isn’t evil, just the ‘love of it.’’’ But in our agreement, we may need
to check further and see if there is any “conspiracy” we are hatching on the
Gospel.

How to Teach Theology
in
Sunday School
![Page 22: Connect3 “Class” Overview “Class” Purpose Theology Matters Curriculum Modern/Postmodern Learning Process Learning Loop.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ea85503460f94bab4cb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
![Page 23: Connect3 “Class” Overview “Class” Purpose Theology Matters Curriculum Modern/Postmodern Learning Process Learning Loop.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ea85503460f94bab4cb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Always read the first chapter of the book to find out some of the context.
Always ask the 5 W’s (who, what, where, when, why).
Consult Biblical commentaries or Bible dictionaries to find out more historical information . (But at least ask the 5 W’s and find these details.)
![Page 24: Connect3 “Class” Overview “Class” Purpose Theology Matters Curriculum Modern/Postmodern Learning Process Learning Loop.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ea85503460f94bab4cb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Bible was not written to us, but rather, for us…to learn from and to apply. We must first know what it meant from its original author to its original audience.
![Page 25: Connect3 “Class” Overview “Class” Purpose Theology Matters Curriculum Modern/Postmodern Learning Process Learning Loop.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ea85503460f94bab4cb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God
stand forever.” Isaiah 40:8
![Page 26: Connect3 “Class” Overview “Class” Purpose Theology Matters Curriculum Modern/Postmodern Learning Process Learning Loop.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ea85503460f94bab4cb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Think in terms of the big picture.
Ask yourself what significance this passage has had on every person for all of time.
What principles have remained regardless of changing cultures and times?
![Page 27: Connect3 “Class” Overview “Class” Purpose Theology Matters Curriculum Modern/Postmodern Learning Process Learning Loop.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ea85503460f94bab4cb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Just because God’s Word is an ancient document does not mean that it is irrelevant.God is eternal and His truth spans from everlasting to everlasting.
Even passages that deal with people groups that no longer exist can teach us things about God, ourselves, and our call to follow Him.
![Page 28: Connect3 “Class” Overview “Class” Purpose Theology Matters Curriculum Modern/Postmodern Learning Process Learning Loop.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ea85503460f94bab4cb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
There is a world of difference between the questions, “So, what does everyone think this verse/passage means?” and “Has God ever used this verse/passage in anyone’s life? And how?”
![Page 29: Connect3 “Class” Overview “Class” Purpose Theology Matters Curriculum Modern/Postmodern Learning Process Learning Loop.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ea85503460f94bab4cb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Consider the passage in light of your current personal circumstances, as well as the current situation in the world around you.
What might God be trying to teach you from this passage?
Is He calling you to repent of sin?
How might He be challenging you to grow and learn?
![Page 30: Connect3 “Class” Overview “Class” Purpose Theology Matters Curriculum Modern/Postmodern Learning Process Learning Loop.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ea85503460f94bab4cb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
God is personal. He doesn’t waste anything.He desires for each of us to take what He has done for all of time and learn from it.
He also wants His Word to come alive in us and become the ultimate authority for how we live.
![Page 31: Connect3 “Class” Overview “Class” Purpose Theology Matters Curriculum Modern/Postmodern Learning Process Learning Loop.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ea85503460f94bab4cb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Issue of Curriculum
Purpose – Curriculum provides a steady process of biblical study so that the full gospel message is taught
![Page 32: Connect3 “Class” Overview “Class” Purpose Theology Matters Curriculum Modern/Postmodern Learning Process Learning Loop.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ea85503460f94bab4cb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Curriculum
Good curriculum focuses on the Bible,
not on itself
![Page 33: Connect3 “Class” Overview “Class” Purpose Theology Matters Curriculum Modern/Postmodern Learning Process Learning Loop.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ea85503460f94bab4cb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

(period – daily, weekly)
(span – length to finish -
