Book Description

This book addresses a critical problem in the teaching ministry of the church - how to prepare those who feel called to teach. Sara Covin Jeungst believes that the church is failing to provide its teachers with basic knowledge about the Bible, theology, and doctrine. Because the quality of religious education is determined by the quality of its teachers, religious illiteracy has soared. Churches must accept the responsibility of preparing teachers to teach. In this book Jeungst provides a solution: an innovative, nine-month teacher-training course that covers biblical backgrounds, basic Christian beliefs, and good teaching techniques. Each segment contains thirteen sessions of interactive study, with lesson plans for each class session. This helpful and useful program is an answer to the perennial problem of securing quality teachers for the education work of churches.
