La Lumiere School is excited to welcome applications for the part-time position of Biblical Literacy Teacher for the school year. The Theology and Philosophy department is dedicated to introducing students to and cultivating them in the intellectual and practical aspects of religious belief and philosophical reflection. This is accomplished by training them to engage critically and charitably with a wide array of religious and philosophical views on reality, ethics, God, and human nature.
The teaching assignment will include 2-3 sections of Biblical Literacy. Biblical Literacy studies the TaNaK, or Old Testament, and the New Testament. Students become familiar with essential stories of faith for the Jewish and Christian religious communities by directly engaging with those texts. The course is guided by three central questions:
Who is God? Who is humanity? What is the relationship between God and humanity?
The ideal candidate will bring theological knowledge, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to help students read carefully, think deeply, and engage respectfully with religious and philosophical questions.
