"It appears that as Christian faith has diminished, the schooling-instructional paradigm has encouraged us to busy ourselves with teaching about Christian religion. Our personal commitment to Christ has lapsed, many church persons have turned for solace to teaching children what the Bible says, what happened in the history of the church, what we believe, and what is right and wrong... But there is a great difference between learning about the Bible and living as a disciple of Jesus Christ" -- from chapter 1 Originally written in 1976 this classic critique of Christian education is back in a revised edition.
