Abstract
Part I in this sequence discussed the major philosophic categories related to reality, truth, and value and examined each of those areas from an Adventist perspective. Building upon that philosophic foundation, Part II began to explore its implications for educational practice, particularly in terms of the nature of the student, the aims of Adventist education, and the ministerial role of the teacher. Part III discusses a Christian approach to curriculum, moves on to the implications of a Christian philosophy for teaching methodology and the social function of Adventist education, and closes with a perspective on the importance of Adventist educators being faithful to the philosophy that undergirds their schools. A fuller discussion of many of the topics covered in this article may be found in the author’s Philosophy and Education: An Introduction in Christian Perspective, 4th ed. (Berrien Springs, Mich.: Andrews University Press, 2006) and Myths in Adventism: An Interpretive Study of Ellen White, Education, and Related Issues (Hagerstown, Md.: Review and Herald Publ. Assn., 1985, 2010).
