This article examines the practice of teaching content-based disciplines through visual art. Qualitative and ethnographic methods are used in researching the teaching practice of a Bible teacher in a Jewish day school. The teaching method under study provides for active learning of the biblical text and demonstrates sensitivity to students' diverse theological backgrounds, various levels of text knowledge, and different modalities of learning. Acknowledgment of the diversity of students' strengths helps students to cross the bridge between biblical time and the present and creates opportunities for creating connections between subjects that are not possible with more traditional teaching methods.
