Addressing both classroom teachers and religious educational planners, Locke E. Bowman, Jr., parallels Christ’s use of parables in this outline to the development of moral, spiritual, and educational formation. Through singing, storytelling, dramatization, and the study of Christian art, Bowman defines a fresh approach to Christian education that recognizes the importance of personal interaction. “What we teach in the Church is a way of life,” he writes, “not a body of technical knowledge. Teachers and learners together seek after the mind of Christ.” |
