It argues that evangelical Christian educators must affirm biblical insights as essential authority while incorporating perspectives from other fields under the continuing authority of God’s Word in Scripture. The book highlights ongoing challenges in teaching a living faith for the postmodern world, balancing continuity of essential truths with change through application to historical, cultural, social, and personal variables.","Foundational Issues in Christian Education  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nFoundational Issues in  \nChristian Education  \nAn Introduction in Evangelical Perspective  \nThird Edition  \nRobert W.
