In Deuteronomy, the stipulations for the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) are followed by Yahweh’s call for proper parental response to a child’s inquiry about the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:20-25), where a credal formulation of the Exodus account comes to the fore. The parent-child verbal interaction during the Passover, the first feast of the religious calendar, is evocative of havruta-style learning featured in the Haggadah, a text which sets forth the order of the Passover Seder. In addition to surveying the Shema (Deuteronomy 6), this article will also cover the Maggid section of the Haggadah that features the story of the four sons along with references to key biblical verses that offer a rationale for the feast (Exodus 12–13 and Deuteronomy 6). By examining the interactive formulation found in both biblical and Haggadah texts, this article will elucidate havruta’s theological foundation and explore its implications for Christian education in a Korean context.
