Book Synopsis Educating All God's Children by : Nicole Baker Fulgham
Download or read book Educating All God's Children written by Nicole Baker Fulgham and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children living in poverty have the same God-given potential as children in wealthier communities, but on average they achieve at significantly lower levels. Kids who both live in poverty and read below grade level by third grade are three times as likely not to graduate from high school as students who have never been poor. By the time children in low-income communities are in fourth grade, they're already three grade levels behind their peers in wealthier communities. More than half won't graduate from high school--and many that do graduate only perform at an eighth-grade level. Only one in ten will go on to graduate from college. These students have severely diminished opportunities for personal prosperity and professional success. It is clear that America's public schools do not provide a high quality public education for the sixteen million children growing up in poverty. Education expert Nicole Baker Fulgham explores what Christians can--and should--do to champion urgently needed reform and help improve our public schools. The book provides concrete action steps for working to ensure that all of God's children get the quality public education they deserve. It also features personal narratives from the author and other Christian public school teachers that demonstrate how the achievement gap in public education can be solved.
Book Synopsis Restoring America's Christian Education by : Stephen McDowell
Download or read book Restoring America's Christian Education written by Stephen McDowell and published by Providence Foundation. This book was released on 2000 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is a nation at risk. One primary reason for this is the mediocre educational performance that exists today, which is the fruit of a state monopolized educational system where the antichristian, man-centered religion of secular humanism is preached five days a week to 50 million of our youth. This is leading them and our nation into bondage. Lack of money is not the problem in our public schools. The problem is with the philosophy that forms the foundation of education in America. Colossians 2:8 reveals there are two basic philosophies that which is according to the world, and that which is according to Christ. A worldly or humanistic (man-centered) philosophy always brings captivity or bondage, while a Christian philosophy brings liberty. Learn of the Christian foundations of education in America: Education was centered in the home and was thoroughly Christian; the first schools were started by the church; the first common schools were started to teach children to be able to read and understand the Bible; 106 of the first 108 colleges were started by and for the Christian faith; the Bible was the central textbook; the Christian education of America's Founders produced men of great character and thought men who gave the world the most free, just, and prosperous nation of all time. Such education is needed to assure that America will continue its legacy of liberty. 24 pages,"
Book Synopsis Models for Christian Higher Education by : Richard Thomas Hughes
Download or read book Models for Christian Higher Education written by Richard Thomas Hughes and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. This timely look at the state of Christian higher education in America contains descriptive, historical narratives that explore how fourteen Christian colleges and universities are successfully integrating faith and learning on their campuses despite the challenges posed by the increasingly pluralistic nature of modern culture. Written by respected representatives from seven major faith traditions -- Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, Mennonite, Evangelical, Wesleyan/Holiness, and Baptist/Restorationist -- these narratives are also preceded by introductory essays that define the worldview and theological heritage of each given tradition and ask what that tradition can contribute to the task of higher education.

Book Synopsis A Christian America Restored by : Robert Glenn Slater
Download or read book A Christian America Restored written by Robert Glenn Slater and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protestant evangelical Christian schools are the fastest-growing segment of American private school education. Despite their notable individual autonomy, these schools have retained a consistent belief system and mission over several decades. Private religious schools can be traced to our nation’s earliest origins. Why is it that these unique educational institutions arose in twentieth-century America and have continued to thrive? A Christian America Restored seeks to delve into the beginnings of private Christian schools and discovers that while they are relatively new on the educational landscape of America, their roots are actually quite deep, connecting with the ongoing dreams of our nation’s conservative evangelicals.

Book Synopsis Latin American Journey by : Robert W. Pazmiño
Download or read book Latin American Journey written by Robert W. Pazmiño and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2002-09-02 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American Journey demonstrates in a unique way how personal and social narrative can illuminate the biblical story. Robert Pazmino's experiences in a South American base community and the barrios of Costa Rica are here translated into fresh and vital proposals for Christian education in North America. Showing the way between fundamentalism of both the right and left, the author brings into creative partnership an often polarized orthodoxy and 'orthopraxy'. A valuable resource for religious educators, pastors, and seminary students." - Gabriel Fackre Abbot Professor of Christian Theology Andover Newton Theological School Pazmino has shown significant creativity in bringing the insights of liberation theology to bear on the discipline of religious education. He has done this in a manner that is directly relevant to a North American audience, and not merely to those curious about Latin American liberation theology. He writes clearly and succinctly, and his book could be valuable in courses on religious education in seminars and colleges. It is a must for curriculum planners and writers, as well as for directors of Christian education in local churches." - Justo L. Gonzalez Director, Hispanic Summer Program The Fund for Theological Education, Inc.

It then looks at Christianity and education around the globe—faith-based schooling in a pluralistic democracy; religious expectations in the Latino home; church-based and community-centered higher education; etc. The third part examines how humanity is determining the relationship between Christianity and education with chapters covering the use of Christian paradigm of living and learning; enrollment, student demographic, and capacity trends in Christian schools after the introduction of private schools; empirical studies on the perceptions of intellectual diversity at elite universities in the US; and more. Provides the breadth and depth of knowledge necessary to gain a sophisticated and nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between Christianity and education and its place in contemporary society A long overdue assessment of the subject, one that takes into account the enormous changes in Christian education Presents a global consideration of the subject Examines Christian education across elementary, secondary, and post-secondary levels The Wiley Handbook of Christianity and Education will be of great interest to Christian educators in the academic world, the teaching profession, the ministry, and the college and graduate level student body.
Book Synopsis Christian Education in America by : John Joseph Keane
Download or read book Christian Education in America written by John Joseph Keane and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Education in America: A Lecture Brethren: Your hearts are filled with joy to-day because years of faithful and generous labor have at last been crowned by the dedication of this beautiful church to the service of Almighty God. But in your joy I am sure you do not lose sight of the fact that during those years of endeavor and of hope our dear Lord and His adoring flock found welcome and fitting shelter in the hall of the parish school-house. Your prudent and zealous pastor, knowing well that "the child is father of the man," and that the way to make a parish of good Christians is to see to the Christian training of the children, erected the school-house before laying a stone of the church; he invited Our Lord and the people of the parish to be for awhile the guests of the children; and it is only after having for years blessed with His Real Presence that home of Christian education that our Divine Saviour has come to occupy this His beautiful dwelling place. Friends, is not this an object-lesson of the relation between religion and education? It is putting in concrete and symbolic form the lesson so frequently inculcated by the word of God, that Our Lord is "the Light of the World," that He is "the true Light which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world," that "God is Light and there is no darkness in Him," that Christians must be "children of the light." It is the will of God that neither ignorance nor stupidity nor error shall rule His people, but the knowledge of the truth, which, He says, is to "make us free," breaking the fetters of ignorance, dispelling the illusions of error, developing and setting free all the powers which our Creator has bestowed on the human intelligence for His creatures' good.
