Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bible History of the Old and New Testaments The Christian religion is primarily and essentially a fact, with a clearly defined and authentic history, and no right theory of it can either be formed or taught unless it be made to rest upon this historic basis. Hence St. Augustine declares that it is the duty of Christian instructors to teach Sacred History not in fragments and broken stories, but as a continuous, connected narrative brought down to the present time (De Cat. rudibus). Much of the prevalent religious ignorance and indifference is undoubtedly traceable to a perverted and pernicious method of teaching religious truth. Little good can surely come of making children learn by rote mere abstractions to which they cannot possibly attach any intelligible meaning, and which, if remembered at all, do not nourish the mind and enter into the mental growth by which the child is developed into the man. The young, if they are to be rightly educated, must be made familiar with deeds rather than with thoughts. They are able to act before they are able to think; and they learn to think rightly only by acting worthily. Hence they are influenced more by example than by precept; and, after the lives of those with whom they are thrown into actual contact, nothing has such power to educate them as a knowledge of the lives of heroic and godlike men.
