Since their earliest days, institutions providing a Protestant
education have always been respected and sought-after for their
rigor and relative freedom from dogma-and despite today's
secularism and plurality, they remain so. This international
handbook is the ultimate companion to protestant schooling
worldwide. Its 39 chapters form the most comprehensive and
wide-ranging treatment of the subject yet available, addressing
Protestant education on all six inhabited continents and featuring
the perspectives of leading authorities and public figures.
The contributions cover in detail not only the facts and
features of Protestant schooling in sundry nations, but also
integrate a range of themes common to them all, themes so vital
that they are of central concern to Christians around the world and
of whatever denomination. Some of these topics are school choice,
globalization, Bible pedagogy and character education, the fine
arts, parental involvement, and the rise of Christianity in
previously inaccessible locations such as China.
The handbook's stellar list of authors is a Who's Who of
authorities on the subject and includes a renowned American
evangelical, a former historian of the US House of Representatives,
and White House consultants responsible for framing legislation.
The many contributors from outside the USA are leading academics
conducting seminal research on numerous topics in the field. Both
exhaustive and authoritative, "The International Handbook of
Protestant Education"will be an invaluable asset to educators,
ministers, parents, policy makers political leaders of any
denomination-or none.
