He employs her categories of theology as the content for Christian education and theology as the norm for the practice of Christian education. From here he theologically addresses the theoretical and practical propositions presented by other educators. From this paradigm he examines the educational considerations of others under the areas of soteriology, Christology, anthropology, ecclesiology, eschatology and axiology.

This is possible for the believer through the Holy Spirit who pours love in our hearts Roms.

This paradigm includes the areas of: This body is the context for education and the vehicle for the transmission of the values and teachings of Christ and the place where we are empowered to live in harmony with God, others and creation. In the area of diakonia educators are called to equip the saints for the work of the ministry for service. The experience of service is how we learn. Advocacy is the restoration of community and society which helps to restore hope. As Christians work out their Christian commitments in the world they must struggle with the values and ideals of the society around them.

It is faithfulness that calls on us to be counter cultural. He made the trinity his paradigm seeing the nature of the relationship between the three persons of the trinity as interdependent, interconnected and interpenetrating. This relationship is known as perichoresis. The educational trinity gives form to the content which comes from God the creator, Jesus the son and master teacher or person and the Holy Spirit as tutor, counselor and sustainer of communal life both among Christians and the broader society or context.

Christian educators are in partnership with God towards the purpose of intervention for remedying the problem of sin. This is the teaching ministry based on a practical Christology which includes the incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection and their meaning for the practice of Christian education.

God in us is the connection that speaks of the Holy Spirit teaching in the teacher. Teacher and Holy Spirit partner together in the dimensions of preparation, instruction and evaluation. In preparation the Spirit is present in the prayer, planning and reflection. Finally, the fifth connection between education and theology that Pazmino contributes is God through us where God works through the five tasks of the church aforementioned.

It can be claimed that Christians have their first allegiance to the Christian faith and that in relation to propheteia they are people of hope who are willing to stake their lives on the changes God can bring to fruition in the culture of their society.

Baker Book House, p. The authority of the Holy Spirit in teaching can be explored in relation to the authoritative Word of God and its role in teaching. Jesus Christ, the living Word, encounters persons through the active presence and ministry of the Holy Spirit. The living Word is a person, and his ministry relates to the individuals engaged in teaching and learning, namely, those called as educators and students. The Holy Spirit is identified as the Spirit of Christ who makes available to humankind the surpassing grace of the crucified one in whom grace and truth have come John 1: Truth unfolds in the life of the faith community through the ministries of proclamation, fellowship, service, advocacy, and worship.
