Introducing Christian Education: Foundations for the Twenty-first Century
Building on the success of his 1992 collection <i>Foundations of Ministry</i> (over 17,000 sold), Michael Anthony offers <i>Introducing Christian Education</i> to fill the need in the C.E. curriculum for an introductory foundations textbook--one that provides an overview and understanding of the broad range of subjects included in C.E.--for college and seminary use.<br><br>Thirty-one chapters are offered under the following sections: 1) Foundations of C.E.; 2) Developmental Perspectives of C.E.; 3) Educational Implications of C.E.; 4) Organization, Administration, and Leadership; 5) C.E. Applied to the Family; and 6) Specialized Ministries. Contributors include Robert Pazmi±o, Jim Wilhoit, Julie Gorman, Klaus Issler, and Ted Ward.<br><br>FROM THE FOREWORD BY LESTER C. BLANK JR.<br><i>Introducing Christian Education</i> will become a major resource text for church leaders and Christian education leaders who are professors of Christian education. It will be a valuable resource in my personal library. The desired outcome will be Psalm 78:72: <i>"He cared for them with a true heart and led them with skillful hands."</i>
