This article will briefly review resources in youth ministry--two groundbreaking classics and a recent surge of good work--that can guide the footsteps of those who work with teens within faith communities.

Pike, Mark A. – British Journal of Religious Education, 2008
The recently introduced and compulsory citizenship education in English schools seeks to prepare children for life in a liberal democracy and is concerned with far more than the acquisition of skills and knowledge; it privileges particular forms of action, behaviour and ways of thinking. I argue here that education for democratic citizenship (EDC)…

Welch, Ronald D.; Mellberg, Kimberlee – Christian Higher Education, 2008
Spiritual maturation processes of internalization and questing were assessed at a Christian university to determine their relationship to year in school and certain religious behaviors. This was a first step toward the development of a new model of Christian higher education that will intentionally facilitate spiritual maturation. A group of 179…

Macgillivray, Ian K. – Educational Studies: Journal of the American Educational Studies Association, 2008
The Christian Right opposes the inclusion of sexual orientation in school policies, charging that the schools are legitimating and promoting homosexuality. The arguments have moved past the trite, "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve," to claims of violations of parental rights and the First Amendment, often positioning…

Chiu, Patricia Pok-kwan – History of Education, 2008
Girls' education has been considered a site of struggle where ideals of femininity and domesticity are translated into curricula and practices that seek to shape and regulate. In colonial Hong Kong, British mission societies had a significant share in providing girls' education, which was predominantly in the hands of European missionaries in the…

Foltz, Franz A.; Foltz, Frederick A. – Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society, 2006
In this article, the authors explore how technology has helped erode society's conceptions of justice. Law, via juridification, has replaced the concept of justice with one of efficiency. The authors argue that this has been largely a result of the destruction of society's common story or vision and the introduction of the computer and the…

Abraham, William J. – Christian Higher Education, 2006
This article explores the concept of education in such a way as to highlight the crucial place of fostering intellectual virtue and eliminating intellectual vice in teaching. Such teaching is inescapably a matter of discernment, trust, and luck. In this context a network of intellectual virtues provides an attractive vision of a well-rounded…

Pulley, John L. – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2006
The Andover Newton Theological School and Hebrew College, which share a hilltop campus in Boston, Massachusetts, are experimenting in academic-religious cooperation that seeks to go beyond programs that simply promote dialogue among disparate groups. The collaboration is the inspiration of Reverend Nick Carter, president of the Christian school,…

Hitzhusen, Gregory E. – Environmental Education Research, 2007
In the USA, many environmental educators have paid little attention to Western Christian and Jewish ecotheology, in spite of its being a potentially rich resource for environmental education. In part, this neglect can be attributed to popular misconceptions about the influence of religious beliefs on environmental values. This essay reviews the…

Baurain, Bradley – Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, 2007
Respect for persons has been widely acknowledged and discussed as a key moral dimension in education and teaching English to speakers of other languages. Christians believe in this value, particularly as it is articulated within scripture and tradition. Recent critics, however, seem to perceive a basic incompatibility between a Christian religious…

Jenkins, Kathleen E. – Social Forces, 2007
In this article I develop heuristic types for understanding how the U.S. evangelical Christian subculture engages the newer science of molecular biology as it works to legitimate and enchant religious worldview: 1.) "symbolic engagement," employing genes and DNA as sacred icon; 2.) "disputatious engagement," debating genetic essentialism and…

Menninger, Rich – Christian Higher Education, 2007
A major challenge facing Christian higher education is how to interact with a pluralistic society. This challenge is encountered in many venues such as community involvement, accountability to churches at large, and the various activities within a particular school (college or university) itself as it conducts business, including teaching. A…

Carter, Shannon – College English, 2007
When evangelical Christian students enter the academy, they often find that its tenets and values conflict with their reliance on the Bible as a source of truth and evidence. In this essay, the author attempts to articulate the ways in which rhetorical dexterity might enable students to use literacies they already possess (like deep knowledge of…
