“Education is useless without the Bible. The Bible was America’s first basic text books in all fields. God's Word, contained in the Bible, has furnished all necessary rules to direct our conduct.” Noah Webster

Noah Webster's View of Education
Noah Webster (1758-1843) was known as the "Father of American Scholarship and Education". Earlier in Webster’s teaching career, he believed that the Bible shouldn’t be a textbook in the classroom. In April 1808, Noah Webster received Christ has his personal Savior. As a result of his conversion, his philosophy of education changed drastically. He was working on the composition of the American dictionary during this time. His relationship with the Lord is evident in his dictionary. Some definitions were grounded on God’s Word. Below is a quote that Mr. Webster stated concerning the Bible and its relation to education.

For a Christian the Bible is imperative use as the basic foundation for every other subject. I find that whatever we learn from our devotional, Bible lesson, chapel message, or memory verse is reinforced by the other disciplines each day. The students see the Word of God pertinent in real life situations. We begin our day with Bible to show the importance of it and get our day off to the right start!
