Evangelical Christian Education

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Kevin E. Lawson

“Well-informed Christian teachers should be familiar with the authors who have shaped and influenced contemporary Christian education. To this end, Fernando Arzola Jr. has assembled the abridged works of five of the most impacting Christian educators of the 20th century--C. B. Eavey, Frank Gaebelein, Findley Edge, Lois LeBar, and Lawrence Richards. This book will be most helpful in assisting the student of educational ministries to understand the contributions of the very recent past as they have shaped the present.”

Harley Atkinson

“Professor Arzola's work creatively frames five foundational texts for timely consideration by religious educators, both within and beyond the evangelical tradition. He addresses the persistent ahistorical tendencies in a time of rapid cultural changes by making accessible living traditions that offer insights for ministries of teaching and learning in the third millennium. Here is eye-opening reading for all those engaged in Christian education who are open to learn from our recent past.”

Robert W. Pazmino

“The book is like a kaleidoscope of colorful pieces of history that illustrate the rich variety of pedagogical and theological perspectives grounding twentieth-century evangelical Christian education. From it, I have learned much about the ever-developing vision and practice of religious education. I strongly recommend it for students and teachers alike.”
