This review is from: Mapping Christian Education: Approaches to Congregational Learning (Paperback)

Given the wonderful work in secular education (pedagogical and andragogical)that is available and the great reputation of this book, I was very disappointed in the content. It is simply a random collection of articles and perspectives. Great thought, but not much use.
