**Teachers should not simply strive to communicate information; they should strive to do it in a way that is delightful, as well as transformative.
Second, he points out that Scripture—above all other objects of study—has the power to accomplish all three of these “in the fullest manner.”**
Catholic Ping!
**Moreover, I’ve also noticed the distinct power that the Bible has not only has to instruct and to delight (as do many other subjects) but to actually transform students.**
And all of us here on this earth are STUDENTS!!!
Any teacher should do that, on religion or any other subject.
Some passages of Scripture are sufficient by themselves, for reflection and edification. However, others need a more creative approach, like when my husband and I taught pre-school Sunday school. We had one lesson in the book that pertained to work, with associated scripture passages that I can’t remember now, helping the children to know that their efforts to do good are pleasing to God. My husband brought real tools to class, and we sawed and hammered. I’m sure that was against all safety rules, but it was a great class. We had a lot of fun thinking outside the box to make the ideas sink in for a half dozen extremely animated boys and a couple of really smart girls.
The thing for me to remember, though, was that I was just sowing seeds. I had to have faith that some of those would sprout later, as the kids got older.
