It offers a historical understanding of these two intertwined subjects with a view to creating a context for the myriad issues that characterize—and challenge—the relationship between Christianity and education today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePresented in three parts, the book starts with thought-provoking essays covering major issues in Christian education such as the movement away from God in American education; the Christian paradigm based on love and character vs. academic industrial models of American education; why religion is good for society, offenders, and prisons; the resurgence of vocational exploration and its integrative potential for higher education; and more. It then looks at Christianity and education around the globe—faith-based schooling in a pluralistic democracy; religious expectations in the Latino home; church-based and community-centered higher education; etc. The third part examines how humanity is determining the relationship between Christianity and education with chapters covering the use of Christian paradigm of living and learning; enrollment, student demographic, and capacity trends in Christian schools after the introduction of private schools; empirical studies on the perceptions of intellectual diversity at elite universities in the US; and more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides the breadth and depth of knowledge necessary to gain a sophisticated and nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between Christianity and education and its place in contemporary society\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA long overdue assessment of the subject, one that takes into account the enormous changes in Christian education\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents a global consideration of the subject\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines Christian education across elementary, secondary, and post-secondary levels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Wiley Handbook of Christianity and Education\u003c\/i\u003e will be of great interest to Christian educators in the academic world, the teaching profession, the ministry, and the college and graduate level student body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWILLIAM JEYNES, PhD,\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Education at California State University, Long Beach.
