Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William J Wilson, The Christian School in Secular Society, BOOK SUMMARY. In this world, according to Scripture, there are two distinct kingdoms. One is the Kingdom of Grace made up of "the people of the light" and the other is the Kingdom of Nature made up of "the people of this world." The Kingdom of Grace is an eternal kingdom with interests that transcend this world. The Kingdom of Nature focuses only on this world. Schools are powerful instruments that can be used to reflect the interests of either kingdom. In a society that has become secularized there is an urgent need for Christians to increase their efforts to promote, establish and maintain schools that will accurately reflect who they are and where they are going. The Kingdom of Nature has taken full advantage of schools to promote humanistic naturalism. The Kingdom of Grace needs to take equal advantage of schools to promote a biblical understanding of life within the context of the highest spiritual and academic standards.

Book Synopsis The Case for Classical Christian Education by : Douglas Wilson
Download or read book The Case for Classical Christian Education written by Douglas Wilson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2002-11-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newspapers are filled with stories about poorly educated children, ineffective teachers, and cash-strapped school districts. In this greatly expanded treatment of a topic he first dealt with in Rediscovering the Lost Tools of Learning, Douglas Wilson proposes an alternative to government-operated school by advocating a return to classical Christian education with its discipline, hard work, and learning geared to child development stages. As an educator, Wilson is well-equipped to diagnose the cause of America's deteriorating school system and to propose remedies for those committed to their children's best interests in education. He maintains that education is essentially religious because it deals with the basic questions about life that require spiritual answers-reading and writing are simply the tools. Offering a review of classical education and the history of this movement, Wilson also reflects on his own involvement in the process of creating educational institutions that embrace that style of learning. He details elements needed in a useful curriculum, including a list of literary classics. Readers will see that classical education offers the best opportunity for academic achievement, character growth, and spiritual education, and that such quality cannot be duplicated in a religiously-neutral environment.

Book Synopsis There is a Crack in Everything—Education and Religion in a Secular Age by : K. H. (Ina) ter Avest
Download or read book There is a Crack in Everything—Education and Religion in a Secular Age written by K. H. (Ina) ter Avest and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two constants in academic and theological discourse throughout history, they are the debate around secularization and the dialogue concerning the intersection of religion and education. Each age has had its debate about modernizing forces that drive concerns of impending secularization. In this publication this theme is approached from perspectives of teachers, of students, of policy makers and situated in a politico-historical context. Aware of the fact that in today’s plural societies one sacred canopy is non-existent anymore, cracks of the sacred canopy/canopies are described, as well as ‘the light that gets in’, the possible and challenging ways out are roughly sketched.
Book Synopsis On Secular Education by : Robert Lewis Dabney
Download or read book On Secular Education written by Robert Lewis Dabney and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 1996 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R.L. Dabney (1820-1898) -- preacher, theologian, soldier, poet, and essayist -- strongly condemned the public education of his day. He saw with prophetic insight that State education could not help but be secularized since it was designed to please the people. As a result, he argued, public education would begin to teach its students not truth, but the values and virtues which were palatable to society at large. Although a century has passed since Dabney first wrote this essay, the questions that parents face haven't changed. Secular education still seeks to indoctrinate our children under the pretence of objectivity, and truth is still sacrificed for the sake of social "unity." We must acknowledge with Dabney that proper education is about heart and soul, not just propositions and facts. Only then will our children learn truth and be equipped to live out our faith.

Bringing together an interdisciplinary team of contributors from the USA, Britain and Ireland, and Australia, representing a variety of religious perspectives, Does Religious Education Matter? provocatively demonstrates that it is vital that religious education is presented as it ’really’ is: a valuable and rich resource that, when taught and engaged with appropriately, stimulates essential qualities for global and responsible citizenship: critical thinking, tolerance, respect, and mutual understanding.

Book Synopsis Religion in Secular Education by : Cathy Byrne
Download or read book Religion in Secular Education written by Cathy Byrne and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-01-09 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cathy Byrne presents the secular principle as a guiding compass for religion in government schools in plural democracies. Using in-depth case studies, historical and contextual research from Australia, and comparisons with other developed nations, Religion in Secular Education provides a comprehensive, at times confronting, analysis of the ideologies, policies, pedagogies, and practices for state-school religion. In the context of rising demands for students to develop intercultural competence and interreligious literacy, and alongside increasing Christian evangelism in the public arena, this book highlights risks and implications as education develops religious identity – in individual children and in nation states. Byrne proposes a best practice framework for nations attempting to navigate towards socially inclusive outcomes and critical thinking in religions education policy.

Book Synopsis Affect and Emotion in Multi-Religious Secular Societies by : Christian von Scheve
Download or read book Affect and Emotion in Multi-Religious Secular Societies written by Christian von Scheve and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotions have moved center stage in many contemporary debates over religious diversity and multicultural recognition. As in other contested fields, emotions are often one-sidedly discussed as quintessentially subjective and individual phenomena, neglecting their social and cultural constitution. Moreover, emotionality in these debates is frequently attributed to the religious subject alone, disregarding the affective anatomy of the secular. This volume addresses these shortcomings, bringing into conversation a variety of disciplinary perspectives on religious and secular affect and emotion. The volume emphasizes two analytical perspectives: on the one hand, chapters take an immanent perspective, focusing on subjective feelings and emotions in relation to the religious and the secular. On the other hand, chapters take a relational perspective, looking at the role of affect and emotion in how the religious and the secular constitute one another. These perspectives cut across the three main parts of the volume: the first one addressing historical intertwinements of religion and emotion, the second part emphasizing affects, emotions, and religiosity, and the third part looking at specific sensibilities of the secular. The thirteen chapters provide a well-balanced composition of theoretical, methodological, and empirical approaches to these areas of inquiry, discussing both historical and contemporary cases.
