Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the role of the church in society, specifically in the context of the 19th century. The author argues that the church's functions are not limited to the pulpit and that it should embrace a wider range of social activities, particularly in the area of education. The author challenges the prevailing view that education should be solely a function of the state, arguing that it is properly a function of the church and that the church should actively control the curriculum, including the Bible and church history. The book explores the broader historical context of the church's role in society and argues for a more expansive view of its responsibilities. The authorââ â¢s ideas are particularly relevant to the historical context of the time, as the 19th century saw rapid social and political changes that impacted the relationship between the church and society. The author also addresses the influence of secularism and the growing importance of education in shaping the minds and values of the population. The author goes beyond simply advocating for the church's involvement in education, delving into specific aspects of its implementation. These include a call for the inclusion of the Bible and church history in the curriculum, the need for higher standards of education, the role of ministers as educators, and the importance of adequate financial support for educational institutions. The author also highlights the threat of secularism and argues for the churchââ â¢s role in combating it through education. This book offers a powerful and insightful exploration of the churchââ â¢s responsibilities in the face of societal change, advocating for a more active and involved role for the church in shaping the intellectual and moral landscape of the times.
