The first section of the book explores core concepts that explain the focus and purpose of Christian teaching. The second section presents forces that give shape to teaching and learning concepts. The third section builds on the previous chapters and makes application to curricular theory as it relates to ministry across the earlier years of life. The fourth section helps readers grow in their methodological expertise and skills. The book concludes with three chapters of often-ignored topics that are essential to effectiveness.
