Synopsis

Object And Outline Teaching: A Guide Book For Sunday-School Workers. Designed To Explain, Defend, And Exemplify The Use Of Objects, The Blackboard, Maps, And Pictures In Sunday-School Teaching" by Henry Christopher McCook. This book is a practical treatise on how to employ visible illustration in religious education. It distinguishes two main methods—Object Teaching and Outline Teaching—and then divides Outline Teaching into Blackboard Teaching, Map Teaching, and Picture Teaching. McCook argues for the educational value of showing familiar objects, drawings, and maps to anchor Bible truths in the minds of children, while warning against sensationalism and the danger of misusing imagery. The text includes Introduction, chapters on practical hints, and numerous exercise sketches, lessons, and blackboard techniques designed for Sunday-school workers. Part I defends the philosophy, addresses abuses, and defines terminology; Part II develops Object Teaching with practical hints and example lessons; Part III covers Outline Teaching and its subtypes, including practical exercises. The work aims to equip teachers to invent and present effective feasts of truth to nurture faith in young readers.
