Bible & Public Schools

As a national debate rages over the proper place for religion in public education, more and more public schools are adding elective courses in Bible literacy. When taught with credible materials and from a nonsectarian perspective, such courses are an appropriate and even laudable way to help students learn about history and literature. However, a report commissioned by the Texas Freedom Network Education Fund and prepared by Dr. Mark Chancey reveals that the country’s most aggressively marketed - and perhaps most widely used - Bible curriculum fails on both counts.
