Synopsis

The Herzog Foundation is proud to partner with the Museum of the Bible to host a two-day Museum of the Bible Teacher Retreat. Interact with the origins and meaning of Scripture and unpack the historical context of the biblical authors to understand how to engage with Scripture today. 

Museum of the Bible Teacher Retreats are an investment in the lives of educators who are making a difference in the lives of students. It is imperative that Christian school teachers continue to study and grow in their knowledge of Scripture to be the most influential witness in the classroom. During this teacher retreat, you will have the opportunity to interact with Scripture in new ways, as well as rest and connect with peers. 

This teacher retreat has two tracks. Each guest will apply into the track that best fits their position. Teachers are encouraged to attend this gathering twice if both tracks interest them.

TRACK ONE: Biblical Literacy 

How do we read and interact with Scripture as Christians? How do educators navigate tough questions in the classroom and help students understand and articulate biblical principles? As educators, it is important to guide students in understanding how seemingly isolated events fit into the biblical metanarrative and the overarching redemptive story as we read and interact with Scripture. During this track, you will look at the historical context of biblical texts as they were written through the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.   

TRACK TWO: Biblical Scholarship 

How did the sixty-six books that make up the Bible come to be? The authenticity of Scripture has been debated and questioned throughout history. During this track, you will explore these questions and more about Scripture, consider different theological perspectives, and learn how to address tough questions from students. Topics will include the origins of the Bible, forgeries, and more. We will use varying opinions and perspectives to strengthen our view and understanding of Scripture. Please be aware that there may be differences and debates in this track based on the other school leaders and scholars in attendance.  

Who’s It For?

We strongly encourage at least two members from each organization attend together. We consider everyone who works at a Christian school an educator in that they have a direct impact on the lives of our students. As such, anyone currently employed at a Christian school or homeschool organization may attend including classroom teachers, campus pastors, spiritual life directors, church-school leaders, and the leadership team.  

Please note: if you are unsure of which track to choose, guests are encouraged to attend the Biblical Literacy Track before attending the Biblical Scholarship Track.
