Culture: A Critical Pillar in the Pedagogy of Jesus

Abstract

By critically analyzing a passage from the Gospel of Luke (10:25-37), this article seeks to illustrate Jesus’ intentional and purposeful use of culture within His pedagogical decisions to critically engage and challenge His audience. The evaluation of Jesus as teacher is critical to position the pedagogy of Jesus as a viable instructional framework for Christian educators to consider who are committed to biblical justice and improving academic achievement for culturally diverse learners.
