How can teachers effectively give religious lessons? This is the question pondered, and answered, in this Sunday School classic.
A great primer on how to teach lessons on Christianity, the author seeks to show how religious virtues and principles can be taught with the use of the Socratic method. Socrates, an ancient Greek philosopher, would use long series of questions to learn, educate and teach. This procedure can be applied to Bible teachings and the life of Christ, as Joshua G. Fitch demonstrates.
This guide, concise but valuable, offers a comprehensive method of educating young people in Bible events, and aspects of Christian virtue. For years after its publication, churches in England and the USA would kept copies for reference, its methods contributing to the successful education of countless thousands of young Christians over the years.
Joshua Girling Fitch was a famous educator in his native England, receiving a knighthood for his services to the field. His work as a senior adviser and pioneer in teaching shaped the early public education system in Britain during the 19th century, with the syllabus and program of tutoring developed, refined and implemented by his department.
