For several decades, Foundational Issues in Christian Education has been a key text for many Christian education courses. Its perceptive analysis coupled with clear writing make it a resource without peer.

In the book, veteran Christian educator Robert Pazmino guides readers through a comprehensive discussion of the interdisciplinary foundations of Christian education, calling all Christian educators to reevaluate the fundamentals of their discipline. "A careful exploration of foundations," writes Pazmino, "is essential before specifying principles and guidelines for practice."

This updated edition includes interaction with professional developments over the past ten years and appendixes that assess the impact of postmodernism as an educational philosophy. In addition, each chapter includes "points to ponder" for personal reflection or classroom use.

"In this new edition, Pazmino stays true to his character and his scholarship. With the addition of reflective discussions on the postmodern impulse in society and its trajectory in educational ministry, Pazmino offers wise counsel to church leaders to press on in God's ongoing transformation of the church and society."--S. Steve Kang, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
