Doug Blomberg, PhD (Sydney), EdD (Monash), FACE, is professor of education. Blomberg has been involved at all levels of Christian schooling for thirty years, as an administrator, classroom teacher, curriculum consultant, board member and teacher educator. He served as founding Principal of the Institute for Christian Education in Australia from 1979. In 1991, he was appointed a Fellow of the Australian College of Education for his contribution to the theory and practice of Christian schooling. In 1991-1992, Blomberg was a member of the Calvin Center for Christian Scholarship team that produced A Vision With A Task, and Educating Christian Teachers for Responsive Discipleship. As well as editing the former book, he edited and contributed to Reminding: Renewing The Mind in Learning, and Humans Being:Essays Dedicated to Stuart Fowler. He has also published many articles in professional and academic journals and other volumes. After serving part-time as professor of education at ICS from 1997-2000, he took up a full-time appointment in 2003, with the added responsibility of coordinating the Institute's distance education program. Blomberg's current research centres on the implications of a biblical perspective on wisdom for schooling; he recently completed the manuscript of a book entitled Wisdom and Curriculum: Christian Schooling After Postmodernity and plans to follow this with volumes on teaching, learning and worldview.
