About Me
Hello and welcome! My name is Katherine Loop. I’m a homeschool graduate and live at home with my parents in Northern Virginia where I have the privilege of working with the Home Educators Association of Virginia and overseeing Christian Perspective, an online ministry to homeschoolers that I began after graduating in 2003.
My interest in how math could be viewed from a Christian perspective began during my senior year, when my mom had me read a book called Mathematics: Is God Silent? by James Nickel. I began to realize that math was not spiritually neutral as I had always thought. All of math began to transform, becoming exciting and meaningful. It makes such a difference to see a subject in a biblical perspective!
After graduating, I felt led to write a down-to-earth, non-technical handbook for homeschooling parents (and anyone else interested in teaching math biblically). After nearly three years of research, writing, and rewriting, Beyond Numbers: A Practical Guide for Viewing Math Biblically was released in 2005. This book is now in the hands of parents around the world, and is carried by such companies as CBD and Answers in Genesis.
In addition to my writing, the Lord has also allowed me to conduct workshops for homeschooling families at various conventions and support groups. I’ve also had the privilege of traveling abroad and ministering to homeschoolers in both Asian and Europe.
My hobbies include playing the piano (I taught piano for three years), writing, learning (I love to learn!), and gardening.
I hope this blog proves a blessing to you and encourages you to seek the Lord in everything–even math!
