Early training of children in the basic truths of Christianity has become an increasingly high priority in Christian circles. To satisfy the demand for up-to-date material on the subject, editors Robert Clark, Joanne Brubaker, and Roy Zuck have revised and expanded Childhood Education in the Church. Numerous revisions and several new chapters (some by new authors) have been added, including essays on "Teaching Exceptional Children" and "The Role of Home Schooling in Childhood Education." Written by a wide variety of experts in Christian education, this volume is designed for use in teacher training classes and for professional training in Bible colleges and seminaries. Each of the thirty-five articles explores a specific area of importance to childhood education. Together they present a complete picture of Christian education of children. - back of book.
