Nothing Never Happens: Experiential Learning and the Church

Nothing Never Happens: Experiential Learning and the Church by beloved Christian educator, pastor, and author John Hendrix is the book his generations of students and readers have long-awaited. In this detailed study of the connections between learning theory and biblical interpretation, this book ultimately enriches our understanding of how the word of God continues to move believers toward worship and service, gratitude and thanksgiving. As C. Edward Richardson writes, “John Hendrix pulls back the curtain of routine teaching so we can see that teaching and biblical interpretation has a lot more to do with mystery and incarnation than it does with learning styles or bible dictionaries and commentaries.”

John Hendrix was for 11 years the Basil Manly Jr. Professor of Christian Education at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, where he inspired ministers with the joy of teaching. He has ministered at several churches in the southeast, and is now retired. He co-authored Celebrate Advent and authored Experiential Education, X-Ed.
