Outfitting the Teacher of Religion

By James H. Snowden

"Outfitting the Teacher of Religion" is a practical and insightful manual dedicated to the professional and spiritual development of religious educators. Written by the esteemed theologian and author James H. Snowden, this work serves as a foundational guide for Sunday school teachers, ministers, and lay leaders who seek to improve their instructional skills and deepen their impact on students. Snowden explores the multi-faceted role of the teacher, addressing the psychological, pedagogical, and theological preparations necessary for the effective communication of faith.

The text focuses on the essential "outfitting" of the instructor-moving beyond simple curriculum delivery to emphasize the teacher's personality, their mastery of the Bible, and their understanding of the student's mind. Through clear and encouraging prose, Snowden outlines methods for lesson planning, maintaining engagement, and fostering spiritual growth within the classroom. By bridging the gap between traditional theology and educational principles, the book offers a timeless look at the art of teaching religion.

As a significant contribution to early 20th-century Christian education literature, "Outfitting the Teacher of Religion" remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of religious pedagogy and the enduring principles of mentorship. It is an essential read for anyone dedicated to the high calling of spiritual instruction.
