Teaching Children Respect for God’s Image: VBS Reformulation

The Schooling Series

I did a series of posts that dealt with home schooling and I wanted a single location to put the posts. The forth post (Who is a Person) is more about the imago dei than schooling but it, correlated.

  1. 5 Stupid Reasons to Opt-Out of Home School
  2. 5 Sometimes Wrongheaded Reasons to Home school
  3. The 10 Reasons Why We Home School
  4. Who Is A Person?
  5. What is the Purpose of Schooling
  6. My Homeschooling site (though it basically duplicates content)

Who Is A Person?

How would you define a person? You ask people that question and you might notice that personhood looks a lot like them. That doesn’t surprise me since there’s some basis of truth undergirding that presupposition, but I have to wonder about the priorities that come to the fore when defining personhood.
