To Set One's Heart: Belief and Teaching in the Church

This book uses belief information as an organizing center for the churchs teaching ministry. It offers five detailed models of teaching expressed in terms of how each contributes to the development of faith: information-processing group interaction indirect communication personal development and action/reflection. Each model includes concrete examples of how the method might be used in a churchs educational program to further belief development. To Set Ones Heart provides both theory and practice combining the insights of theology education and socialization. The result: an in depth examination of religious belief teaching and intentionality.
