Beyond Numbers by Katherine Loop




"Math is not a neutral subject. God’s invisible qualities are clearly seen in math. If we are not worshiping God in math, we are unconsciously worshipping the creation, in this case, math itself. We are exchanging God’s truth for a lie. Our attempts at neutrality only harm us and open up our hearts to worldly, independent thinking."




In this guide you will discover what the Bible says about math. You will explore where math originated and why it works. You will see the harm in the way most textbooks teach math. You will walk through all aspects of teaching math biblically, from preparing and choosing a curriculum, to overcoming obsticals. Throughout the process, you will learn to  look beyond numbers and to behold God in math.




May the Lord use this guide to encourage and equip you to look to Him in everything, including math.
