A recent book intimates that there are three kinds of Sunday-school teachers. Some are so poor that they must be forgiven by those who had the disadvantage of having Christianity interpreted through their words and spirit. Some are so colorless, so neutral, so neither poor nor rich, that they are forgotten by those who in years of youth had no Christian impression made upon them by their responsible teachers. Some are so good and wise that they are forever remembered with that honor which is partly love and partly reverence. Such teachers of Christianity have an imperishable memory.
It is to help those who aspire to play their part in fulfilling the Great Commission, and thereby to achieve that imperishable memory, that this teacher-training textbook has been prepared.
The book specializes on the history of God’s redeeming grace. It reviews Old Testament history, disclosing the stream of God’s redeeming purposes flowing down through the older times. It reviews New Testament history, disclosing the broadening and deepening of that purpose for us men and for mankind in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and his Church. It reviews the history of that Church in the world. It introduces the student to the study of the human spirit, made in the likeness of God. It discusses the organization of the Church in order to carry out the Great Commission, particularly among the children and youth whose minds and hearts and consciences God has designed for that spiritual development which we call religious education.
The book goes from the press with the hope, that, under God, it may help many to be never-to-be-forgotten teachers of the grace of God in Jesus Christ, and to leave an imperishable memorial of themselves in the lives of others, brought to a personal and living faith in Jesus Christ and to the dedication of trained and obedient lives to his service among men.
