Bibliogogy is a Scripture-governed theory and practice of teaching and learning in which the Bible serves as the ultimate source of authority for instruction. Bibliogogy aims to bring about doctrinal formation, spiritual transformation, growth, and development. The purpose of this study is to develop “Bibliogogy” as a comprehensive Scripture-governed theory of teaching and learning grounded in divine revelation and Spirit-enabled epistemology. Building on emerging theoretical contributions within Biblical Christian Education—particularly the works of Dele Alaba Ilesanmi on Scripture-governed research—Bibliogogy is articulated as a distinct framework in which Scripture determines the ontology of the learner, the epistemology of knowledge, the methodology of instruction, and the teleology of education. The study adopts sola scriptura methodology, employing scriptural review, theo-theoretical construction, and transformational validation. The study constructs a unified theoretical framework for teaching and learning rooted in biblical authority. It further establishes philosophical assumptions, principles, and instructional models inherent within Scripture, including expository, discipleship, parabolic, doctrinal, and transformational models. Findings reveal that Scripture-governed learning produces sustainable transformation and the ability to reproduce spiritual knowledge in others, validating Bibliogogy as a distinct and necessary teaching theory. A detailed comparative analysis with secular pedagogy demonstrates that Bibliogogy is not merely an alternative methodology but a fundamentally different epistemic paradigm. This study concludes with recommendations for institutional adoption, mentorship and discipleship training, further research, and technological integration to extend the reach of Bibliogogy in ministry and theological education.
