Synopsis

Can the study of history be presented so the reader understands the relevance of centuries-old events as the 21st. century continues to unfold? The authors of Christian Education: A History and Heritage have created a textbook that will help the student understand how the way we learn today is built on a foundation that is influenced by methods of teaching going back over 4,000 years.

Each chapter is based on a period of history beginning with early Hebrew education. Each period is viewed through the following lenses:
Overview of the period (historical setting)
Purpose of education (what was to be accomplished)
Educational contexts (physical environment and methods)
Educational content (what was being taught), and
Voices (the primary shapers of education in the period).
