The Curriculum of Religious Education
"The Curriculum of Religious Education" is a comprehensive examination of the pedagogical foundations and historical development of religious instruction. Written by George Herbert Betts, a prominent figure in the early twentieth-century religious education movement, the work addresses the urgent need for a more scientific and systematic approach to teaching faith. The book analyzes the evolution of religious curricula, evaluating how materials have been chosen and organized to meet the spiritual and developmental needs of students.
The text focuses on the essential principles of curriculum construction, arguing that religious education must move beyond mere memorization toward a framework that engages the learner's lived experience and psychological growth. Betts provides a critical assessment of the traditional Sunday school model and offers a vision for a more integrated, effective educational program within the church. This work serves as an important historical artifact in the field of education, documenting a pivotal shift toward modern educational techniques in the context of religious study. "The Curriculum of Religious Education" remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of educational thought and the transmission of religious values through formal instruction.
