Abstract
This paper outlines some of the curricular advances in the area of energy education at Baylor and the philosophical underpinnings driving these advances that may be of interest to Christian technical educators. In particular, we examine one of the often overlooked facets of the Christian environmental stewardship movement, the problem of sacrifice, by asking four fundamental questions: Why is it necessary to consider sacrifice in the larger context of Christian environmental stewardship? What, or who, are we sacrificing for? What are the practical forms this sacrifice takes? And, is God ultimately worshipped through such acts of sacrifice?
