Usually I'm the one to bring history books into our home library, but this time my wife did the honors. Actually, now that I think about it, she's bought a couple of history books over the last few years. Guess I've been a good influence. Anyway, the title of the book describes it pretty well. Starting with the educational traditions that preceded and would influence Christian education, Dr. Provost and Rev.

It was a somewhat light, enjoyable read, though I did find the later chapters less enlightening.
