I wrote a book about #BiblicalLiteracy. Just thought I'd mention that for no reason in particular today. amzn.to/2UpkrqW

FWIW, I'd love to see more emphasis on biblical literary in public education. The stories of the Bible have shaped our world in countless ways. The problem is...

...Because the American church has done such a poor job of teaching the Bible as a library of sacred stories rooted in specific literary, cultural, and religious contexts, most high school teachers are unprepared to teach it as literature & to face parental backlash for doing so.

1. I recently learned that my great-granddad, Amos Spears, was a student at the Cherokee Male Seminary from 1892-1896. As a Cherokee Nation educational institution it was radically different from Canadian residential schools of the period, and the differences are illuminating.

2. Here’s a thread on Indigenous vs. settler education, and an interesting history lesson that puts the lie to claims that Canada’s Indian residential school system was ever intended to truly educate Indigenous students. I'm looking at two contexts in the same period: 1890s.

3. The Cherokee Male and Female Seminaries were envisioned by Cherokee Nation leaders as sites of advanced education that would train future leaders in the Nation and prepare them to succeed on equal footing with Whites in the political, religious, cultural, and economic spheres.
