DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Principles of Religious Teaching Religious pedagogy is one of the newer branches of the sci ence of education. Despite the fact that teaching was made central by the Founder of Christianity both in his practice and in the Great Commission to his disciples and the further fact that many of the most notable achievements of the church through the ages have been due to the faithful exercise of this central function, modern church leaders, until very recent years, have given scant attention to the development of the princi ples and technique of religious teaching. Rapid progress has been made during the last two decades, but much pioneer work yet remains to be done. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The great objective of wise teaching is the child, 'to awaken his spiritual nature, and touch the springs of his emotional response to the heavenly Father.' How to cultivate a religious attitude, religious ideals, loyalties, habits, and the sense of responsibility for others; how to organize the mass of material for all this in the Bible, in nature, history, and great biographies; how to make truth vivid with teaching that sticks in memory; how to protect children from intellectual difficulties, are all well answered by a 'master in Israel.' Professor Betts has given us by far the best book we have as yet on how to teach the child religion until he is of age to follow the way of Christ as a thing of course." -The Outlook "Principles and methods are stated with conciseness and clearness, and with a kind of illustration that causes them to throb with life. The book will prove an inspiration and practical help to every teacher who will read it and put its teaching into practice." -The Christian Advocate "Treats the content of religion as identical with that of ethics, and indicates how this material may be used effectively in classroom work." -The Dial "Of great worth....One thing is impressed upon the teacher at once - the supremacy of religion. Next comes the stern demand that the teacher should himself, and for himself, set religion first: 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.' Then follow the rules and methods - so easily learned then and so easily taught." -The Expository Times "Frequently claims are made for books which when reviewed are found wanting. Not so with this book, which deals in 'a concrete and practical way with the underlying principle of religious instruction.' The volume is intended as a textbook for teacher-training classes, students of religious education, and we are confident that many ministers will find it most suggestive and helpful." -Homiletic Review CONTENTS The Teacher Himself The Great Objective The Fourfold Foundation Religious Knowledge of Most Worth Religious Attitudes to be Cultivated Connecting Religious Instruction With Life and Conduct The Subject Matter of Religious Education The Organization of Material The Technique of Teaching Making Truth Vivid Types Of Teaching Methods Used in the Recitation
