Mary Boys offers a new way of thinking about what it means to
educate religiously. Utilizing the method of map-making to broaden
the context of American religious education, Boys defines a process
that incorporates each instructor's own experiences, perspectives,
and analytical insights to develop more compelling teaching
methods. By placing both Protestant and Catholic religious
education in both a historical and conceptual framework, Boys
establishes a theological and educational basis for providing
answers to central questions: What does it mean to educate in
faith? What is the teacher's role? How much emphasis should be
given to psychology, anthropology, and sociology? Toward what view
of society is a theory of religious education oriented? No one maps
out where we've been, where we are and where we're going more
clearly than Boys does here. . . . [She] demonstrates how a real
master in the field keeps the transforming power of the tradition
alive for the sake of a new future. -- Craig Dykstra In the course
of dealing with the history, methods, and possibilities of
Christian education, [Boys] has actually given us a compendium of
the main issues and trends across the whole theological spectrum.
Anyone who wants to know how we have gotten to where we are today
and -- more important still -- how we move ahead in the life of
faith, will find this book essential reading. In its blending of
graceful style and copious scholarship it sets a model. -- Robert
McAfee Brown Mary Boys's encyclopedic account of religious
education in North America will be useful to anyone who educates in
faith and seeks to place his or her own work in historical
