Description: Does education have any relation to theology? How do
the educator's worldview commitments speak to his or her practice
of education? James Michael Lee brought a definite answer to these
questions--a firm no to the relations question, and an advocacy for
empirical findings over and against any speculative or theoretical
positions in reply to the commitments question. Lee claimed to have
a universal, neutral metatheory for all religious education, a
theory that would apply to all religious educators in any and every
religion. But in proposing his theory he overlooked the way that
empirical facts express worldviews. This book is a detective story,
tracing commitments that lay underneath empirical ""neutrality.""
In the process the reader will see avenues that unmistakably link
education to theology. Education turns out to be a thoroughly
worldview-conditioned process. This new work is essential reading
for professors and students in both religious and general
education. About the Contributor(s): Edward J. Newell is Assistant
Professor of Education at Atlantic Baptist University in Moncton,
New Brunswick, Canada. He received his Ed.D. from Columbia
University.
