Christian Educators of the 20th Century

Welcome to the Christian Educators of the 20th Century database.

Designed to help facilitate research in this broad field, entries include biographical essays, bibliographies, excerpts and assessments of each person’s influence on Christian education. This project has a peer-review board and is funded by The Lilly Endowment.
