Educational Principles and Missionary Methods the Application of Educational Principles, to Missionary Evangelism (Classic Reprint)

Moreover, this book gives decisive expression to views of education which, while I welcome them, I am disposed to regard as rather seriously one-sided. My opinion, for what it is worth, is that the modern school of educationahsts seriously underrate the importance of the dogmatic element in education. I have no doubt that the older school greatly overrated it. But I think the modern school is in excessive reaction. Nevertheless I heartily welcome this book, and, though I do not ask missionaries to refrain from criticizing it, I do from my heart desire that, before criticizing it and pointing out its weak points, they should give it sympathetic attention and consider how vast and how important is the element of truth which the authors view contains. I do not ask that they should be wholly converted, as I am not wholly converted myself ;but I do desire that they should be sufficiently converted to recognize that a very deep and difficult change is required of us not only in our educational methods but in our whole conception of the method for propagating the truth which can most truly be described as divine. CHARLES GORE. July 15, 1919.
