Why the Church Must Teach

About this book

The great value of WHY THE CHURCH MUST TEACH is that the author combines these two separated and sometimes antagonistic disciplines in equal balance. Those concerned for classical foundations will find that Coleman knows the scriptural material thoroughly and has studied it with the help of the best biblical scholarship. Likewise those concerned for practical application will find that he is equally at home in a contemporary Sunday School class and has mastered the learning theory needed to undergird a program of lay religious education in a local church. The contents include: 1. Jesus Came Teaching 2. The Teaching Church 3. A Different Kind of Teaching 4. A Christian View of Learning 5. The Content of Christian Teaching 6. The Role of the Christian Teacher 7. Christian Teaching as Calling 8. Why the Church Must Teach Today
