I loved learning, it was school I hated. I used to cut school to go learn something. |

The Trivium in Biblical Perspective |
|
Robert Booth |
|
The development of the trivium model of classical learning is, perhaps, an example of how unbelievers borrow truth from God's world and yet fail to give God the credit. Believers should adopt or reject the trivium model of learning not for pragmatic reasons but because it is either true or false. the primary concern should be: is it biblical? All truth claims must pass the biblical standard. Robert Booth discusses why the trivium model of learning passes the biblical test.
