Why the Bible Is the “Prequel” to Western Civilization | Texas Schools & the K–12 Curriculum

Should the Bible be taught in public schools? In this episode of Ideas Have Consequences, Larry Alex Taunton examines the Texas State Board of Education's decision to include the Bible in the K–12 curriculum—and argues that the debate is about far more than religion. Larry contends that the Bible is the "prequel" to Western civilization. Without understanding it, he argues, students cannot fully grasp Western literature, history, philosophy, law, or even many of the moral assumptions that shape modern society. Drawing on historical scholarship, literary examples, and the ongoing Texas curriculum debate, Larry explores why biblical literacy has long been considered foundational to a classical education—even by many who do not identify as Christians.
