A Complete Christian Education Resource
"This volume will become a major resource text for church leaders, as well as Christian education leaders who are professors of Christian education"
-Lester C. Blank Jr., from the foreword
Successful Christian education ministry is built on strong foundations. Yet Christian education is often steeped in misunderstanding and misconception. Although grounded in biblical studies and theology, Christian education seeks to integrate these areas with a variety of social sciences including education, sociology, and psychology. Michael Anthony has created an outstanding guide to this integration that fills the need for an introductory textbook providing an overview and understanding of the broad range of subjects included in Christian education.
Introducing Christian Education begins with a discussion of the theological historical, and philosophical bases for Christian ministry. From there it examines contributions of the social sciences through the lens of biblical teaching. Another section is dedicated to the organization and administration of ministry. The final two sections apply Christian education theory to various age groups and specialized areas of the population. This book will help ministry leaders design programs that integrate the changing needs of contemporary society with the unchanging truth of God's Word.

Michael J. Anthony (Ph.D., Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; Ph.D., Claremont Graduate School) is professor of Christian education at Biola University's Talbot School of Theology. His works include the Evangelical Dictionary of Christian Education, Foundations of Ministry: An Introduction to Christian Education for a New Generation, The Effective Church Board, and The Short-Term Missions Boom.

Introducing Christian Education
This is a very informative primer on the use of philosophy and psychology in Christian education while maintaining a firm footing on the Bible. It tends to be dry in some areas, but also very clear, illuminating, and practical overall. The book seems to be quite free of unfounded bias against psychology and philosophy, which is quite refreshing. It does disagree with major philosophies, but where it does, it provides strong arguments for the Christian position while stating other major positions in a way those who adhere to those positions would most likely endorse. However, when reading, it does seem a tad bit like an ordered mess. Every chapter is written by a different author, which wasn't expected. While organizing the book in this way has its weaknesses, it does present certain strengths. Each chapter itself is thoroughly researched, organized, and well communicated. However, this book does seem more like an academic journal than a textbook.
