TEACHING THE BIBLE TO TEENAGERS
Abstract
Teaching the Bible is in itself a serious challenge and in a sense a risky venture. Teaching teenagers in many ways complicates an already difficult task. The purpose of this article is to explore the self-reliant spiritual functioning of the teacher as a vital and integral key in the process of teaching the Bible. The article poses that people play an important role in the coming of God to people. The Old Testament’s view on teaching makes this obvious and clear. What kind of person is a teacher then supposed to be? In this regard the article explores self-reliant spiritual functioning. The article also touches on the specific characteristics of teenagers and how these characteristics relate to the teaching of the Bible.Authors retain copyright and grant the Journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this Journal.
