Sinopsis

Increasing numbers of adults, looking for some higher meaning in life, are turning to religion for answers. In this book, Linda J. Vogel explores the growing movement toward adult religious education and, drawing on her knowledge from the field of adult learning and development, offers strategies for teaching adults in both Christian and non-Christian settings. Emphasizing the importance of integrating religious education into real-life issues and problems, Vogel shows religious educators how to develop skills that help adults make connections between their own life experience and their faith community's story and worship. She explains the importance of examining assumptions and setting aside ready-made answers in order to really listen, challenge, and provide guidance for the individual or group. And she tells how to use scriptural metaphors to explain both the nature of the religious educational experience and the dual role of the teacher as guide and companion in that process.
