Evangelical Protestant Gifts to Religious Education

Evangelical Protestantism is a large and diverse family of faith communities. Ronnie Prevost examines these diversities and explains how the parameters surrounding them can enrich religious education.He examines the historical dimensions, the theological dimensions, and the ecclesiological dimensions of Evangelical Protestantism as we seek to discern what Evangelical Protestants perceive as a true church.The freedom allowed by the separation of church and state is both a model and a reminder for religious education. Only by this freedom will the results of religious education be adherents that not only enunciate a faith, but also live it daily, and so influence their respective worlds.Ronnie Prevost is Professor of Church Ministry in the Logsdon School of Theology of Hardin-Simmons University. He has degrees from Mississippi College, and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and has studied at Princeton Theological Seminary, the University of Alabama, and the University of Kentucky.
