Quotes About Teaching

Quotes about teaching and the role of a Christian teacher from throughout church history.

John Calvin, 1562

I devote all my care, labor, and study not only to the service of this Church, to which I am peculiarly bound, but to the assistance of all the Churches by every means in my power. I so discharge my office of a teacher, that no ambition may appear in my extreme faithfulness and diligence. I devour numerous griefs, and endure the rudeness of many; but my liberty is uncontrolled by the power of any man. I do not indulge the great by flattery; I fear not to give offence. (Response to Badouin, from Schaff, A History of the Christian Church, vol. VIII, sec. 97)
