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.

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 Does Religious Education Matter? by : Mary Shanahan
Download or read book Does Religious Education Matter? written by Mary Shanahan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current climate, and in an age of increasing hostility towards religion and the study of religion, religious education is a much-debated area. 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 Religious Schools in Europe by : Marcel Maussen
Download or read book Religious Schools in Europe written by Marcel Maussen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Convention on Human Rights guarantees freedom of education, including the opportunities to create and operate faith-based schools. However, as European societies become more religiously diverse and ‘less religious’ at the same time, the role of faith-based schools is increasingly being contested. Serious tensions have emerged between those who ardently support religious schools in their various forms, and those who oppose them. Given that faith-based schools enjoy basic constitutional guarantees in Europe, the controversy around them often surrounds issues of public financing, degrees of organisational and pedagogical autonomy, and educational practices and management. This volume is about the controversies surrounding religious schools in a number of Western European countries. The introductory chapter briefly analyses the structural pressures that affect the position of religious schools, outlining the relevant institutional arrangements in countries such as Denmark, Germany, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Scotland. The following chapters provide a detailed analysis of the discussions and controversies surrounding faith-based schools in each country. Finally, the two concluding chapters aim to provide a bigger, comparative picture with regard to these debates about religious education in liberal democratic states and culturally pluralist societies. This book was originally published as a special issue of Comparative Education.

It provides a clear explanation of Christianity and its importance as well as gives a unique and accurate biblical interpretation of the faith. The book encourages believers as well as non-believers to seek God and provides a full proof way of successfully living the true Christian life. The book encourages all to take a moment to look over their life, their beliefs and their current purpose for existing then test Christianity. Not by listening to others interpretation but reading and getting a clear understanding of God's Word on your own.Many Christians live a life that does not represent the faith. This often times discourage would be believers. However, this book brings to light many of the obstacles that prevent righteous living and provides solutions to overcoming those obstacles. Using scripture, readers will discover that God still loves them and wants a relationship with them. He is willing to forgive and direct all who seek Him, back on the "straight and narrow path". Understanding the Christian Walk reminds those who have lost their way that it is not too late to return. The Author shares personal struggles with her own Christian walk and without judging, describes behaviors that are not consistent with the Word of God and provides scripture to back it up. The book shows how we get caught up in situations that lead us away from the teachings of God.Understanding the Christian Walk, takes the reader on an interesting biblical journey in order to motivate the reader to take the time to meet the One that is the only friend you will ever need and is the only One with the key to true love and happiness. It answers some of those who, what when, where, why and how questions, that makes Christianity a mystery.

Book Synopsis God, Grades, and Graduation by : Ilana M. Horwitz
Download or read book God, Grades, and Graduation written by Ilana M. Horwitz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It's widely acknowledged that American parents from different class backgrounds take different approaches to raising their children. Upper and middle-class parents invest considerable time facilitating their children's activities, while working class and poor families take a more hands-off approach. These different strategies influence how children approach school. But missing from the discussion is the fact that millions of parents on both sides of the class divide are raising their children to listen to God. What impact does a religious upbringing have on their academic trajectories? Drawing on 10 years of survey data with over 3,000 teenagers and over 200 interviews, God, Grades, and Graduation (GGG) offers a revealing and at times surprising account of how teenagers' religious upbringing influences their educational pathways from high school to college. GGG introduces readers to a childrearing logic that cuts across social class groups and accounts for Americans' deep relationship with God: religious restraint. This book takes us inside the lives of these teenagers to discover why they achieve higher grades than their peers, why they are more likely to graduate from college, and why boys from lower middle-class families particularly benefit from religious restraint. But readers also learn how for middle-upper class kids--and for girls especially--religious restraint recalibrates their academic ambitions after graduation, leading them to question the value of attending a selective college despite their stellar grades in high school. By illuminating the far-reaching effects of the childrearing logic of religious restraint, GGG offers a compelling new narrative about the role of religion in academic outcomes and educational inequality"--
Book Synopsis God for a Secular Society by : Jürgen Moltmann
Download or read book God for a Secular Society written by Jürgen Moltmann and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 1999-03-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this masterful analysis of the religious and political dilemmas at the end of the modern age, world-renowned theologian J rgen Moltmann assays the vaulting dreams and colossal failures of our time. He asks how we came to this point, and he argues strenuously for Christian discipleship and public theology that take sides. In both critical and creative ways he advances the specific relevance of Christian messianic hope to today's thorniest political, economic, and ecological questions-including human rights, environmental rights, globalization, market capitalism, fundamentalisms, and Jewish-Christian relations-and the deeper values contested therein.In a world reeling between utopia and disaster, Moltmann here passionately and provacatively shows how Christian discipleship, through engagement and solidarity, can blaze a redemptive path.
