Uniquely identifying curriculum as a means of ministry through the metaphor of mapmaking, it shows how believers are lost along the spiritual journey without a study plan, having no clear destination or reliable path to follow toward maturity. Detailing the theological, educational, and pastoral dimensions that make a curriculum Christian, the text is arranged into four sections: (1) rationale for curriculum, (2) curricular foundations, (3) curricular theory, and (4) the practice of curriculum UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1215/2011279162-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1215/2011279162-d.html ER -
