This review is from: Christian Education: Its History and Philosophy (Hardcover)

Excellent source of the history of education (since originally education was for the purpose of learning about God) from a Christian perspective. Well written and interesting to those who want to know about Christian Education. Well documented and good bibliography.

This review is from: Christian Education: Its History and Philosophy (Hardcover)

In my humble opinion, Gangel has written an excellent title on the history and philosophy of church history and how it has changed over the years.

Some of the topics include:

1. Greek Philosophy and Its Impact on Christian Thought.
2. Church Education in the Early Church.
3. Renaissance Man and Cultural Renewal.
4. Reformation Dawn and the Light of Christian Education.
5. Pietism and the Moravians.
6. New England and the Puritans.
7. Horace Busnell and the Sunday School Movement.
8. Psychologism and Evangelicalism.

Again, these are only a few of the topics. The book contains a total of 18 chapters, so there are other topics concerning Christian Education over years.

An excellent title for understanding the changing nature of Christian Education. Ready and enjoy.
