Those Who Can, Teach

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Stanley Porter explicitly and implicitly addresses the negative effects caused by an almost universal absence of graduate school instruction in the fundamentals of good teaching. . . . These reflections cover a wide range of both theoretical pedagogical considerations . . . as well as practical pointers on effective teaching. Noteworthy throughout these very helpful essays is the acknowledgement of the seminary or Christian college educator's need for humility, patience, enthusiasm, and dedicated, prayerful commitment to the teaching task.”
