This book reformulates Christian education as an interdisciplinary and interdenominational vocation for professionals and practitioners. It speaks directly to a range of contemporary contexts with the aim of encouraging conceptual, empirical and practice-informed innovation to build the field of Christian education research. The book invites readers to probe questions concerning epistemologies, ethics, pedagogies and curricula, using multidisciplinary research approaches. By helping thinkers to believe and believers to think, the book seeks to stimulate constructive dialogue about what it means to innovate Christian education research today.Chapters are organised into three main sections. Following an introduction to the volume's guiding framework and intended contribution (Chapter 1), Part 1 features conceptual perspectives and comprises research that develops theological, philosophical and theoretical discussion of Christian education (Chapters 2-13). Part 2 encompasses empirical research that examines data to test theory, answer big questions and develop our understanding of Christian education (Chapters 14-18). Finally, Part 3 reflects on contemporary practice contexts and showcases examples of emerging research agendas in Christian education (Chapters 19-24).

Multidisciplinary Perspectives

Innovating Christian Education Research

Do you ever feel anxious, confused or frustrated, and wish you could tap into intelligence greater than your own? Something or somebody to clear your brain, change your perspective and help you relax? Beth Green has that good fortune. An intuitive counselor and spiritual teacher since 1980, Beth hears from "God", the inner voice that's smarter than she is. In this little volume, she shares fifty-two zingers that she's received from "the source". Enlightening and entertaining, these one-liners delight us with both laughter and insight. They can change our lives. Whether or not you consider yourself spiritual, try them. See if you don't feel better. Praise for Green's Sacred Union: The Healing of God "A dynamic, iconoclastic, thoughtful and thought-provoking work that seeks to reconcile the age-old dichotomy of a world filled with horrible evils and the worship of a holy supreme creator [A] transcendental work with a message that reaches past all boundaries within the mind and soul." Midwest Book Review "A unique and powerfully written book that makes sense of the human experience, helps release humanity from shame and blame, and ultimately brings us to a reconciliation with God and each other."
