Book Description
Principles and Practices of Christian Education shows teachers how they can use two important principles that stand behind all evangelical practices to make their education program stand out from all the others in its nurture of students. First, evangelical Christian education recognizes the need for conversion-personal and corporate transformation that reconnects people to their Creator. Second, evangelical Christian education strives for connection-making contact with people as unique individuals who live in a particular society and who need to know more about scripture. In this book Christian education students learn that the work for which they prepare is a partnership with God to transform people. Their central task is worship, but through it and other activities they lead others to faith, commitment, and transformation of communities.

Book Description
This book helps the local church re-evaluate its program of Christian education. After nearly 2000 years of history it is pertinent to ask whether the church school is still true to the principles of the Master Teacher and of the apostolic church; whether its methods of education and their ultimate results are distinctly and peculiarly Christian, and whether the local church is efficiently reaching humanity with Christian teaching. The author faces these questions from the viewpoint of one who believes that the Bible is inspired, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that the New Testament church is the pattern church. He evaluates modern educational thought and practice in the searching light of Christian history and principles, and draws some constructive conclusions. The section on methods present a church school for today which offers all the best of modern education in a pattern thoroughly true to the Scriptures..
