Introduction to Christian Education is a basic textbook for the college student and an up-to-date resource book for the already-serving Christian Education Director.
The first section presents biblical and historical background on Christian education and its foundations. The other three sections stress a practical approach. They cover materials and methods, administration, and Christian education opportunities beyond the local church.
Introduction to Christian Education contains an extensive discussion of age-level characteristics, materials, learning objectives, and teaching methods for various age groups. It also covers Sunday-school organization and administration, recruitment and training of workers, opportunities for professional work in the local church, Christian schools, camping, and campus ministries. The wide range of subjects helps students to see how Christian education relates to their respective career choices.
Much new material has been added to this revised edition, including a survey of professional Christian education workers and a complete update on training, curriculum, and bibliographical resources.
Dr. Eleanor Daniel is Professor of Christian Education at Cincinnati Bible Seminary. John W. Wade is Professor of English and Christian Education at Atlanta Christian College. Dr. Charles Gresham is Professor of Bible and Christian Education at Kentucky Christian College.
