This paper explores the possibility of a learning theory for the brain-based Christian education. To that end it examines four theories of learning in turn: behaviorism, cognitive theory, brain-based learning model(BBL), and biologically-oriented learning model(BOL). Although behaviorism has lost the sweeping influence, it is a learning theory that we need to understand, since not only does it form the historical backdrop for much of the current thinking about the mind but its influence lingers. For the same reason, Piaget's cognitive theory is still regarded as a useful learning theory as well. Behaviorism and cognitive theory, however, are criticised by BBL and BOL. Those traditional learning theories according to BBL and BOL offer general framework(S-R or assimilation and accommodation) but fail to provide adequate accounts of the empirical mechanisms of learning. BBL and BOL from neuroscience and cognitive science offering rival explanations of learning argue that brain structures and its functions are essential to the designing of learning process and environment. The learning theory of the brain-based Christian education also needs to consider some implications of BBL and BOL in relation to rigorous and systematic empirical studies of the brain.
