Description
Book SynopsisFor almost twenty years,
Foundational Issues in Christian Education has been a key text for many Christian education courses. Its perceptive analysis coupled with clear writing make it a resource without peer.
In the book, Christian education expert Robert Pazmiño guides readers through a comprehensive discussion of the interdisciplinary foundations of Christian education, calling all Christian educators to reevaluate the fundamentals of their discipline. 'A careful exploration of foundations,' writes Pazmiño, 'is essential before specifying principles and guidelines for practice.'
This updated edition includes interaction with professional developments over the past ten years and appendixes that assess the impact of postmodernism as an educational philosophy. In addition, each chapter includes 'points to ponder' for personal reflection or classroom use.
Trade Review"In a clear and concise way the author introduces each of the foundational areas by exploring its purpose, current trends, and inherent difficulties. His chapters on the psychological and curricular foundations are two of the most concise, clear, and balanced introductions availableA... His surveys are accurate and his critiques are pointed, insightful, and fair, consistently calling the educator to examine each of the theories in light of one's biblical and theological frameworkA... An outstanding strength of this work is the way it consistently examines foundational considerations in light of the stated purpose of education."Darwin K. Glassford, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society
