I am so glad that Mr. Rose articulated these because they are all reasons I love this method. He is so wise! I have paraphrased them here. To read them, see A Guide to American Christian Education, p. 5.

1. Christianity and HisStory are intertwined.
2. It is restorative of Christian scholarship (Joel 2:25).
3. It harmonizes student and subject with Biblical truths (Eccl. 4:12).
4. It demonstrates unity with diversity among subjects and students.
5. It reveals Biblical origins and purposes of a subject.
6. It unifies Biblical principles with ideas and facts.
7. It produces Christian character and scholarship, separating from pagan philosophies.

He also introduced the idea of identifying and documenting the 7 principles (listed in step 2) Biblically, governmentally, educationally and historically, which will come in step 8. That is a big job! It will happen over seven weeks and I am looking forward to that study.
