Description
What is “Christian” about Christian education; how is it different from on-Christian education? A Theology for Christian Education examines this question in depth and argues that the doctrines of systematic theology should drive the content, purpose, and methods of the educational program of the c hurch. The book states: “Christian education is distinct from other kinds of education in that its aim is the transformation of the whole person into the likeness of Christ (Col. 1 :28). Christian education is the process of accomplishing this aim.” A Theology for Christian Education dedicates chapters to examining particular doctrines and their implications for Christian education. It is the only serious academic text to offer a systematic presentation of the intersection of theology and Christian education from a conservative evangelical perspective.
Advance Praise
Three patriots of ministry lead not a revolution but a reformation as Christian Education enters its third millennium. They bring outstanding credentials and experience to this crucial task and, more importantly, they succeed. Perhaps the key to the book lies in its clever blend of theology and Christian education. While dividing their chapters into traditional systematic categories, they approach those chapters in a fresh manner more reminiscent of biblical than systematic theology. The result brings forth a refreshing harmony of the two disciplines.
