"Freddy Cardoza has assembled an exemplary team of educators and theologians to compile this text. Each of these authors are subject-matter experts in their fields, and their corresponding chapters represent some of the most cutting-edge research paired with real-life ministry application. I have no doubt that it will become a classic in the field and serve to guide the ministry efforts of countless church and parachurch professionals in the decades to come. I applaud this tome and highly recommend it to anyone in the field of Christian education and spiritual formation."

Michael J. Anthony, professor of educational ministries and leadership, Dallas Theological Seminary

"Christian Education: A Guide to the Foundations of Ministry is an interesting and worthwhile contribution to Christian education. Compiled and edited by Freddy Cardoza, the book covers the whole field of evangelical Christian education, beginning with educational foundations and continuing through theory, administration, ministries, and specializations. Cardoza, who served as executive administrator of the Society of Professors in Christian Education (SPCE), has been able to convene a cadre of some of the finest minds today to share their expertise and research. The reader will find that this textbook has a satisfying balance of both the theoretical and the practical. It is filled with an abundance of theory and foundation to satisfy the academic purposes of colleges and seminaries, yet it contains practical handles for those who are looking for fresh ideas to employ in the teaching-learning world."

Wesley Black, professor of student ministry, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (retired); minister to legacy and senior adults, Travis Avenue Baptist Church, Fort Worth, Texas

"Like every generation before us, we must pass on our knowledge to the next generation of Christian leaders. I strongly recommend this book to future Christian educators who want a fresh approach for engaging a generation living in a world more technologically advanced, socially aware, and spiritually divided. The various sections were well written--theologically and practically--and will be helpful for educators, students, and church leaders."

Kevin Nguyen, Christian studies professor, California Baptist University

Reviews

"Applicable for Christian students who are preparing to be educators in the church or in society. . . . The book introduces key issues important to understanding modern-day aspects of Christian education. . . . Freddy Cardoza's textbook informs future Christian educators of strategic issues and creates greater awareness of the need for effective Christian teaching in today's complicated world."

Brent H. Burdick,

Evangelical Missions Quarterly

"This book is an excellent resource and is rich in scripture and history. . . . . Another strength of this book is that it addresses the area of technology and some of the implications this technology has for Christian education. This is an important discussion in Christian education with the rate of change that is inherent in technology development. . . . The unity of the book is the greatest of its strengths, and it is evidenced in the familiarity that the authors have with each other's chapters. . . . This book is useful in several areas and is destined to meet the goal of being beneficial for ministry practitioners, professionals, professors, and students."
