Christian Education Home Page =The History of Christian Education=

The history of education is the history of teaching and learning. Each generation, since the beginning of human existence, has sought to pass on cultural and social values, traditions, morality, religion and skills to the next generation. The passing on of culture is also known as enculturation and the learning of social values and behaviours is socialization. The history of the curricula of such education reflects human history itself, the history of knowledge, beliefs, skills and cultures of humanity.

The history of Christian education begins not with the birth of Jesus Christ but with the mind of Christ. All truth is God's truth and thus Christian education begins with God. For this reason the scope of the history of Christian eduction spans the whole breadth of civilization beginning with God.
