Constant, Total War

“Van Til is not urging the physical destruction of non-Christians — note his ‘spiritual weapons only and always” — but he does see the task of the Christian educator as one of constant, total war. Every thought must be made captive to Christ. A Christian school is not the place where we complete this task, but it is the place where we teach our children that spiritual warfare is the task” (The Case for Classical Christian Education, p. 71).
