Abstract
Dr. Wyckoff, Professor of Christian Education at Princeton Theological Seminary, surveys the need for constructing an adequate theory of Christian education. He concludes that the only theologically and educationally adequate guiding principle is “the Gospel of God’s redeeming activity in Jesus Christ.” In part one of his book Dr. Wyckoff surveys the cultural setting in which Christian education must take place. He surveys briefly the history of Christian education, points out the need of an adequate theory of Christian education concluding that the Gospel is alone satisfactory guiding principle. The remainder of the book seeks to implement this principle by showing how it would affect objectives, procedures, and organization for Christian education. The author has effectively presented his thesis that the Christian gospel effectively includes all of the basic elements in Christian education that have by various groups been suggested as the guiding principle for Christian education.
