The Sling And The Stone Or What Is Christian Education? A Sermon (1842)

The Sling and the Stone is a sermon written by Francis Minden Knollis in 1842 exploring the concept of Christian education. The book delves into the idea that education should not simply be about imparting knowledge but also about nurturing the spiritual growth of individuals. Knollis argues that Christian education should focus on developing the whole person including their moral and ethical values. The title of the book is derived from the biblical story of David and Goliath where David uses a sling and a stone to defeat the giant Goliath. Knollis uses this story as a metaphor for the power of Christian education to overcome the challenges and obstacles that individuals may face in their lives. The book is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the role of Christian education in shaping individuals and society as a whole.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
