Abstract
The focus of this article is to examine the history of the integration of faith and learning (IFL) within Christian Education for the purpose of determining the origins of the IFL. The journey of the IFL will be traced from the fall of man to the 20th century. The three manifestation of the IFL will be discussed which are true IFL, counterfeit IFL, and the disintegration of faith and learning. Each of these manifestations happened at some point in history and had an effect on the true goal of education, which is the restoration of the image of God in man.
