Product Description
Knight's textbook surveys the philosophies and philosophic issues relevant to Christian education. Teachers, students of education, and other readers will find this book a "helpful guide for analyzing educational purposes and practices in the light of their basic beliefs." PBesides investigating the relationship between philosophy and education and discussing how philosophies have affected contemporary practices in the classroom, Knight offers a Christian approach to philosophy and relates such an approach to educational practices. PPhilosophy and Education is divided into three sections. Part I deals with basic concepts in philosophy and the relationship between philosophy and education. Part II is a survey of how traditional and modern philosophies have faced the basic philosophic questions and what that has meant for educational practice. Part III discusses the necessity of developing a personal philosophy of education, one possible approach to a Christian philosophy, and some of the ramifications of such a philosophy for educational practice in Christian schools.

Excellent textbook on philosophy January 6, 2009
I purchased this book for a class and was very impressed by the thorough and interesting way the material was presented. Many philosophical views are considered and brought to light from a Christian perspective as well. It is a great resource tool for me to use in the future.
 Philosophy Education April 9, 2008
Wow! I always thought philosophy to be boring however, this book made the subject matter clear and very comprehensible. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and expanding my knowledge. If you have always had an adverse reaction to philosophy then this is the book for you. Happy reading!

Traditional educational philosophies are helpful to some degree, for instance Knight points out that postmodernists' interest in social issues is similar to those listed in the Bible (94). Though there are some truths expressed in various philosophies, they all fail in their understanding of the human condition (133). Knight is careful to distinguish the uniqueness of Christian education, which is a "redemptive act"-one that seeks to reconcile students to the image of God (198). Since teachers are "agents of reconciliation" (200), it is important that they have a personal relationship with Christ (207). Knight describes teaching as the "art of loving God's children" (209). This love for students and truth is what fuels the central philosophy of Christian education, which is based on God as Creator, the disparity between good and evil, the consequences of sin and humanity, God's revelation of Himself through the Bible, and knowledge of His loving kindness and mercy (241). The very essence of Christian education is that "life is meaningless outside of Christ" and educators are to guide students to the same conclusion (242). All students, regardless if they are a believer or nonbeliever, should be given an opportunity for a life in Christ. Although Knight states that Christian education is a "redemptive act" and teachers are "agents of reconciliation," pointing students to the Savior is not confined to Christian institutions. If given the opportunity, Christian teachers can use their student's negative life situations to talk about Christ. Knight puts the correct perspective of teaching: no matter where a believer teaches, the main objective is always the same-to be used as an instrument in drawing people to Christ.
This Book Is For The Christian Educator March 1, 2003

Having taken the course "Philosophy of Education" and having to use many textbooks, one of which was "Philosophy and Education: An Introduction in Christian Perspective" by George R. Knight, I was given a broad perspective of what the philosophies of education are. This book centers on the philosophy that is held by most major monotheistic religions and the author does not presuppose that the reader is already grounded in the basics of Christian educational philosophy because the book is intended for use in the Christian environment. I recommend this book to those that want to have a broader perspective in educational philosophy.
