Teaching the Bible

The Society of Biblical Literature has created a variety of teaching tools, to complement their publications. Taken from their web segment on "Teaching the Bible in Public Schools," one resource is this graph comparing what various religious traditions include in their Scriptural canon.



Similarly, the National Education Association (NEA) supports a "secular" teaching of Bible as shown in this statement taken from their website:

NEA has frequently been accused of trying to turn schools into "religion-free zones." That's simply not true.

NEA has endorsed three publications giving advice to teachers, parents, and administrators about religious activities in school such as school prayer, religious clubs, and teaching about religion and the Bible: "The Bible & Public Schools," "A Teacher's Guide to Religion in the Public Schools," and "Religious Liberty, Public Education, and the Future of American Democracy-A Statement of Principles."

All three are endorsed by a broad coalition of religious and education organizations, including the National School Boards Association, the Christian Legal Society, and the National Association of Evangelicals. Copies may be downloaded at http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/.
