Book Description
Excerpt from The Pedagogy of Missions As to the origin of religion many different views have been and are still held. Hume thought that hope and fear lay at its basis. Man was afraid of natural forces, and that caused him to predicate gods back of them. Efforts were then made to secure the good-will of these deities. Edward B. Tylor thought that animism was at the beginning of all religions, attributing to all objects a life similar to that which man was conscious of having within himself. He thought that all forms of culture and worship could be derived from this primitive religion. Herbert Spencer traces religion to ancestor worship. The deities of primitive men are the spirits of their ancestors, which after death inhabit trees, stones and other objects. This presses the origin back of the animism of Tyler and the fear and hope origin of Hume. But the real source of religion is farther back yet and deeper in the scul of man. Animism and ancestor worship belong to a later stratum of human history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pedagogy for Religion
Author: Parna SenguptaPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520950410
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Offering a new approach to the study of religion and empire, this innovative book challenges a widespread myth of modernity—that Western rule has had a secularizing effect on the non-West—by looking closely at missionary schools in Bengal. Parna Sengupta examines the period from 1850 to the 1930s and finds that modern education effectively reinforced the place of religion in colonial India. Debates over the mundane aspects of schooling, rather than debates between religious leaders, transformed the everyday definitions of what it meant to be a Christian, Hindu, or Muslim. Speaking to our own time, Sengupta concludes that today’s Qur’an schools are not, as has been argued, throwbacks to a premodern era. She argues instead that Qur’an schools share a pedagogical frame with today’s Christian and Muslim schools, a connection that plays out the long history of this colonial encounter.
English Teaching as Christian Mission
Author: Donald SnowPublisher: Herald Press
ISBN: 9780836191585
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Recent decades have seen an ever-increasing number of Western Christians going abroad as English teachers. Many of these teachers are going to countries that are not very receptive to other forms of Western Christian mission. Some Western Christians view English teaching primarily as a means to gain access to "closed" countries for the purpose of evangelistic outreach. Other Western Christians see it mainly as a form of social service. Snow’s well-thought-out details of how to bear witness, engage in ministry, serve the poor, contribute to peace, and build bridges of understanding between churches clearly show the special role of Christian mission that Christian English teachers can have.

Protestant Children, Missions and Education in the British World
Author: Hugh MorrisonPublisher: Brill Research Perspectives in
ISBN: 9789004471030
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
At Christmas 1936, Presbyterian children in New Zealand raised over £400 for an x-ray machine in a south Chinese missionary hospital. From the early 1800s, thousands of children in the British world had engaged in similar activities, raising significant amounts of money to support missionary projects world-wide. But was money the most important thing? Hugh Morrison argues that children's education was a more important motive and outcome. This is the first book-length attempt to bring together evidence from across a range of British contexts. In particular it focuses on children's literature, the impact of imperialism and nationalism, and the role of emotions.

Mission High
Author: Kristina RizgaPublisher: Bold Type Books
ISBN: 1568584628

Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
"This book is a godsend a moving portrait for anyone wanting to go beyond the simplified labels and metrics and really understand an urban high school, and its highly individual, resilient, eager and brilliant students and educators." -- Dave Eggers, co-founder, 826 National and ScholarMatch Darrell is a reflective, brilliant young man, who never thought of himself as a good student. He always struggled with his reading and writing skills. Darrell's father, a single parent, couldn't afford private tutors. By the end of middle school, Darrell's grades and his confidence were at an all time low. Then everything changed. When education journalist Kristina Rizga first met Darrell at Mission High School, he was taking AP calculus class, writing a ten-page research paper, and had received several college acceptance letters. And Darrell was not an exception. More than 80 percent of Mission High seniors go to college every year, even though the school teaches large numbers of English learners and students from poor families. So, why has the federal government been threatening to close Mission High -- and schools like it across the country? The United States has been on a century long road toward increased standardization in our public schools, which resulted in a system that reduces the quality of education to primarily one metric: standardized test scores. According to this number, Mission High is a "low-performing" school even though its college enrollment, graduation, attendance rates and student surveys are some of the best in the country. The qualities that matter the most in learning -- skills like critical thinking, intellectual engagement, resilience, empathy, self-management, and cultural flexibility -- can't be measured by multiple-choice questions designed by distant testing companies, Rizga argues, but they can be detected by skilled teachers in effective, personalized and humane classrooms that work for all students, not just the most motivated ones. Based on four years of reporting with unprecedented access, the unforgettable, intimate stories in these pages throw open the doors to America's most talked about -- and arguably least understood -- public school classrooms where the largely invisible voices of our smart, resilient students and their committed educators can offer a clear and hopeful blueprint for what it takes to help all students succeed.
