Excellent Introduction to the History of Church Education

In my humble opinion, Gangel has written an excellent title on the history and philosophy of church history and how it has changed over the years. Some of the topics include: 1. Greek Philosophy and Its Impact on Christian Thought. 2. Church Education in the Early Church. 3. Renaissance Man and Cultural Renewal. 4. Reformation Dawn and the Light of Christian Education. 5. Pietism and the Moravians. 6. New England and the Puritans. 7. Horace Busnell and the Sunday School Movement. 8. Psychologism and Evangelicalism. Again, these are only a few of the topics. The book contains a total of 18 chapters, so there are other topics concerning Christian Education over years. An excellent title for understanding the changing nature of Christian Education. Ready and enjoy. Recommended!
