Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Christian Idea of Education as Distinguished From the Secular Idea of Education In his inaugural address the president of an American college calls attention to the fact that the institution over which he was called to preside had been "always distinctively and emphatically Christian in its motives and influence." Another, in his inaugural, says, "the colleges originated in a common impulse. Broadly stated, the impulse was religious; the force that is behind the colleges was the spirit of consecration, of service, and of sacrifice." In precise harmony with the declarations of these two presidents is the well-known motto of Harvard college, "Christo et Ecclesioe," which very exactly and fitly expresses the high purpose of the men who laid in New England the foundations of our national system of schools. The schools which they planted were, speaking generally, designed to be "distinctively Christian." But what is meant by the phrase "distinctively Christian"? Why use the limiting word, "distinctively"? The answer to the latter question appears in the fact that there are so many in these later days who profess and call themselves Christians who, nevertheless, differ so widely, and even radically, among themselves in their conception of Christian truth and the Christian life, that the term "Christian" has come to be so indefinite as to convey no accurate thought.
