The Classic Guide for Educators of Any Denomination

What mission calls us to teach? How do societal issues-social oppression, poverty, politics-affect what we teach, how we teach it, and how people learn? Who are our students? What and when are they ready to learn? Once we understand these foundations, how can we facilitate an educational experience that has the power to shape and transform people and communities in life-giving ways of faith?

In this classic text, Thomas Groome asks and answers these central questions, providing a comprehensive integration of the history, theory, and practice of modern religious education for a new generation of educators. His self-reflective approach-shared praxis-will inspire school teachers, students of religious education, pastors, parents, and religious educators in local churches who want to understand themselves, their mission, and their surroundings-to inform, form, and transform their students' lives.

"Anyone tugged by the calling at the heart of education or religious life can only cheer for the republication of this classic book."-Robert Kegan, Harvard Graduate School of Education

"Whether returning Christian Religious Education or reading it for the first time, readers will discover freshness leaping from the page; you will soon know why this formative book of the past is a beacon for the future-informative, inspiring, and wise!"-Mary Elizabeth Moore, professor of theology and Christian education, Claremont School of Theology

Der vorliegende Band der Reihe New German-American Studies eroertert anhand der Lebensgeschichte des geburtigen Westfalen August Rauschenbusch und unter Anwendung gangiger Methoden der deutsch-amerikanischen und transatlantischen Geschichtsschreibung das Schicksal eines deutschen Amerikaauswanderers im 19. Jahrhundert. August Rauschenbusch migrierte 1846 als protestantischer Missionar nach Missouri und hatte spater eine angesehene Stellung als Professor und Ausbilder von Predigern an einem deutschsprachigen theologischen Seminar im Staat New York inne. Der Verfasser ruckt durch seine Untersuchung der Biographie eines deutschen Theologen und Einzelauswanderers in den USA heute vergessene oder bisher weitgehend vernachlassigte Forschungsfelder deutsch-amerikanischer Geschichte wieder ins Bewusstsein.

A Modern Manual for Sharing a Relevant, Vibrant, Enduring Faith

In the face of mounting obstacles, parents and educators find themselves increasingly challenged by the task of leading people toward lives of faith. Now Thomas Groome, a world-renowned authority on religious education, has created a contemporary, holistic approach to teaching Christian beliefs and values that offers real, effective solutions for today's parents and teachers. His guide to religious education--which aims to "bring life to Faith and Faith to life"--is a hopeful road map for reenergizing the faith community and family from the bottom up.

Der Nationalsozialismus gehoert zu den besterforschten Epochen der Zeitgeschichte. In den Lehrplanen fur fast alle Schulformen sind die Themen Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust curricular verankert. Zugleich aber belegen Studien seit den 1950er Jahren, dass mancher Schulunterricht zur Verharmlosung, UEberdruss oder Abwehr gegen "das Thema" beitragt. Die Studie greift diese Problemlage auf. Aus interdisziplinarer Perspektive kommt dabei die intergenerative Tradierung von Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust in den Blick. Schliesslich wird mit Methoden qualitativer Unterrichtsforschung der Frage nach der "Gegenwart der Vergangenheit" nachgegangen. Hier steht das Rezeptionsverhalten von Schulerinnen und Schulern zu den Themen Judentum, Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust im Mittelpunkt. Im Hinblick auf eine Religionspadagogik nach Auschwitz wird somit auch eine Antwort moeglich auf die Frage: "How to teach the Holocaust?"
