ÒA history of Christian education must not be confused with a record of the achievements of the Sunday School. The discipline has advanced well beyond that stage, and today's sophisticated students fully understand that no proper concept of the history and philosophy of Christian education can be gained without seeing all the ramifications, implications, and influences that have affected it from pre-Christian times to the present.Ó So Drs. Gangel and Benson have written this book, a historical flow of philisophical thought from a Christian point of view. Its focus is cultural-biographical, discussing each philosophy in its particular socio-historical setting, and giving special attention to significant individuals. The format is chronological, beginning with education in biblical times, working upward through history to arrive at the present - and beyond, raising questions and issues for the future.

Roman Jacobson’s Prism: Learning the Language of Faith is a dissertation that examines the common elements found in the catechetical documents of the three mainline Canadian churches—the Anglican, Roman Catholic, and United Church. Dr. Hunt employs Roman Jakobson’s communication theory for the analysis, as communication is central to faith education. Twenty-first century churches need to respond effectively to the faith education of their membership, and Dr. Hunt hopes that this work will inspire the churches of today to create faith responses to the challenges that the world faces now and into the future.
