Abstract

To address the problem of ineffective Bible teaching in the Chinese American Church, the thesis of this project it that her effectiveness in Bible teaching can be increased by training teachers to interpret the biblical text according to its literary genre; apply the biblical message to Chinese American learners in light of the goal of Christian education; and teach the Bible lesson that aims at life changes. The project demonstrates a 3-step process for training teachers to deal with three Bible passages: 1)interpret the text by analyzing literary characteristics and its literary and historical contexts; 2) explore the goal of Christian education and the learners' life experience, establishing a process for applying the biblical message accordingly; 3) teaching the Bible lesson by examining theories of learning, principles and methods of teaching, and designing a teaching/learning process compatible with literary genres and goals of Christian education. This project designed sample lesson plans relevant to the experience of Chinese Americans for three genres: Narrative, Wisdom, and Prophetic. It is hoped that persons may engage in a continuous process of conforming to the image of Christ in life and mission.
