High School--How High? How Much?

Uve Steinmann discusses the value and purpose of education from a Christian perspective, contrasting the lives of an uneducated but productive couple with a highly educated doctor, both of whom served their communities well. He explores how education should equip individuals to fulfill biblical mandates, such as subduing the earth and spreading the gospel, while avoiding extremes of ignorance or prideful over-education. He outlines scriptural principles and practical guidelines for determining the appropriate level of education, emphasizing skills like reading, math, and communication, and balancing formal learning with practical application to produce useful, godly citizens.

“High School--How High? How Much?” was presented by Uve Steinmann at Western Fellowship Teachers’ Institute in August of 2018 at Lighthouse Mennonite School in Halsey, Oregon.
