Bible Literacy brings the timeless stories of the Old and New Testaments to life through a cultural and historical examination of the people, places and events that shape the Bible.
The topics of Sacred Text, Beliefs and Christian Life are used to explore the roots of Christianity, including the Jewish traditions that Jesus and the apostles practised, God’s relationship with His chosen people, and the roles of God the Father, Jesus the Messiah, and the Holy Spirit.
Build Literacy Using Bible Stories
Students examine Christian principles and beliefs to deepen their understanding of Scripture and be able to relate it to their personal experiences and perspectives.
Students reflect on morality and the impact of choices, guided by Jesus’ teachings and examples as a model for Christian living.
Stories tie in seasonal events on the Christian calendar to offer even greater opportunities for students to incorporate the Bible into their lives.
Develop Student Curiosity
The Bible stories are accompanied by artworks that showcase the religious expression of Christians from different cultures around the world and throughout time.
There are audio Bible verses spoken in the languages of these cultures with accompanying images of them practising their faith.
This develops students’ curiosity about people from different backgrounds and fosters an appreciation of their art, language, values, relationships, history, and shared faith so they can reflect, develop empathy and increase their perspectives and understanding of others.
