Restoring the "Circle of Knowledge"
in Christian Schools, Churches and Homes
 |
The "Circle of Knowledge," from the 17th century Reformers, has four elements: 1) God creates all things. 2) Humans learn about what God has created. 3) Humans use what they have discovered to imitate God through producing "secondary creations" out of His primary creation. 4) God is glorified through human occupations of all kinds, from carpentry to cooking, to computer programing. Dr. Christian Overman, after serving as a school principal for 14 years, founded a training organization for Christian school teachers, called, "Worldview Matters." This endeavor kept him busy for 20 years. After he reached the ripe age of 70, he turned most of his work over to a like-mined organization, called, RenewaNation. Christian, however, has kept his "finger in the pie," helping schools, churches and homes to restore the Circle of Knowledge.

What school leaders are saying about Dr. Overman's training:
“If we could go
back and make a different choice, I would make the same choice [to participate
in Dr. Overman's training]. The rewards of implementation have far exceeded the amount of
work.”
“[Dr. Overman's training] offers practical application tools that I
have not seen in other such programs.”
“I would do
[Dr. Overman's training] again without hesitation.”

What teachers are saying:
“This
project is the future of Christian education. It is powerful!”
“All
Christian schools need this to be their staff development so that schools
across the U.S. and the world can be teaching with solid Biblical integration.”
“If
every Christian school could teach in this way, it would transform Christian
education.”
“My
classroom discussion and content have truly been transformed.”
