ABSTRACT
Renee Emanuel utilizes a “Biblical Approach” to education. Biblical writers wrote and taught from a perspective which nurtures the child’s “entire” person: mind, body & spirit, simultaneously. She shows that the Bible & Africa are inseparably linked together through geography, culture and history. When studying the Bible, one is in fact studying numerous, vital aspects of African history. In her workshop, Ms. Emanuel models techniques for teaching basic health, biology, astronomy, Biblical geography& history to primary/ elementary school-aged children. Biblical History & African History are shown to be synonymous.
OBJECTIVE
To show that Africa is the “cradle of civilization”. To show that the world has benefited from Africa’s natural resources & spiritual insight for millenniums. To describe the behavioral changes noted in children having been exposed to a Biblical Wholistic Education.
