Description
The Church as Learning Community: A Comprehensive Guide to Christian Education by Norma Cook Everist. In this comprehensive guide, Norma Cook Everist explores the concept of the church as a learning community. She argues that Christian education is an integral part of ministry, where Christians are formed into the image of Jesus Christ through various forms of ministry and outreach. The book delves into the tasks and practices of Christian education, examining its significance in the life of the church. The author's work is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the church as a learning community. Part 1 considers the role of the church in the world, while Part 2 explores the ongoing growth in faith required for Christians to become the image of Jesus Christ throughout their lives. The final part shifts focus to the church's engagement with its local community and the wider world. Everist's work provides a valuable introduction to Christian education, offering insights into the practices and principles that underpin this vital aspect of church life.
