Publisher's Description

▼▲

This classic critique of Christian education is revised, expanded and includes Westerhoff's overview on the state Christian education over the past forty years.

According to Westerhoff, instead of guiding faith formation within the family, the church, and the school, we relegate religious education to Sunday morning classes. There, children learn the facts about religion, but how will they learn or experience faith? How can we nourish and nurture the faith of children, instead of only teaching the facts?
