This is the first article of a two-part series. The article presents a curriculum design reformation for Christian education built upon unit planning and instructional strategies representing the latest findings in neuroscience and educational research. The Inquiry Design Method for Christian Education (IDMCE) is explained and analyzed based upon research-based practices. IDMCE provides a strong foundation for curriculum design in Christian education by targeting student interest and an understanding of Scripture that promotes Christlike transformation.
