$I"The writing of Elias' book is clear, the indexes are valuable, the table of contents comprehensive and the scholarship wide-ranging. We are indebted to the author for the large amount of
information that he has condensed into it. His skill is shown in both his inclusiveness (no serious contributor seems to be omitted) and in the balance of space he offers to the various characters who walk
across his stage. The book deserves a place in the library of any university that takes Christian education seriously."$I--William K.Kay, $IJournal of Christian Education$I, Vol. 45, No. 1, 2002
$I"I found this volume very helpful for its careful but succinct treatment of the various individuals and movements with which it deals. It is particularly good to have the chapter on Orthodox Christian
education and such a detailed Bibliography.$I"--John Shortt, $IJournal of Education and Christian Belief$I, October 2002
$I"Elias understands and describes the tensions which shaped, and continue to
shape, Christian education from the ancient world to the 21st century…While this book was written for undergraduates, congregations could use it to reflect on their educational assumptions, giving leaders a "short
course" in the history of the idea of Christian education. Or masters or doctoral candidates in Christian education might read this book as a reliable map to orient them to the intellectual topography that
lies before them."$I--Dana Wright, $IPrinceton Seminary Bulletin,$I Vol. XXIII, Number 3, 2002 |
