Foundations

This book is for undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, school administrators, organizational leaders, theologians, researchers, and education practitioners. It uncovers topics exclusive to education in general, particularly Christian education, while highlighting the experiences and perspectives of individual scholars in various contexts. This tenth-anniversary volume focuses on language, community, agency, and identity topics. Each chapter ends with discussion questions that offer the reader freedom of thought and expression and an opportunity to engage with others, preferably in smaller groups.
