Educational Principles and Missionary Methods: The Application of Educational Principles to Missionary Evangelism (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Educational Principles and Missionary Methods: The Application of Educational Principles to Missionary Evangelism
I suf fer under serious disqualifications for writing any kind of introduction to such a book as this, inasmuch as I am not in any sense an expert on education in general or an expert in missionary methods. Moreover, this book gives' decisive expression to views of education which, while I welcome them, I am disposed to regard as rather seriously one-sided. My Opinion, for what it is worth, is that the modern school of educationalists seriously underrate the importance of the dogmatic element in education. I have no doubt that the older school greatly overrated it. But I think the modern school is in excessive reaction. Nevertheless I heartily welcome this book, and, though I do not ask missionaries to refrain from criticizing it, I do from my heart desire that, before criticizing it and pointing out its weak points, they should give it sympathetic atten tion and consider how vast and how important is the element of truth which the author's View contains. I do not ask that they should be wholly converted, as I am not wholly converted myself but I do desire that they should be sufh ciently converted to recognize that a very deep and difficult change is required of us not only in our educational methods but in our whole conception of the method for propagating the truth which can most truly be described as divine.

Educational Principles and Missionary Methods (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating intersection of educational theory and missionary practices during the early 20th century. The author challenges the conventional methods employed by missionaries, drawing attention to the disparity between their approaches and the remarkable success of early Christian evangelists like St. Paul. By examining the historical context of educational reforms in Western schools, the author identifies a critical flaw in missionary work: the tendency to prioritize the subject matter and desired outcomes over the individual needs and cultural backgrounds of the converts. This insightful analysis reveals how this oversight has often resulted in superficial conversions and a failure to foster genuine spiritual growth within communities. Exploring profound theological concepts and drawing inspiration from both the Old and New Testaments, the book advocates for a more nuanced understanding of education in the context of missionary work. It emphasizes the importance of respecting the agency and unique circumstances of each convert, fostering a spirit of experimentation and liberty in the learning process. The book's exploration of these themes underscores the need for a paradigm shift in missionary approaches, one that recognizes the inherent dignity of each individual and empowers them to actively participate in their own spiritual journeys. Ultimately, this book's enduring relevance lies in its call for a more compassionate and effective approach to spreading the Christian message ΓΆβ β an approach that prioritizes the holistic development of individuals and communities over rigid adherence to predetermined structures.
