TL;DR: The nature of Christian upbringing today needs to be redefined as mentioned in this paper, and there can no longer be an easy identification of Christian development with general education. But how can Christian nurture be distinguished from good education on the one hand and indoctrination on the other?
Abstract: The nature of Christian upbringing today needs to be redefined. There can no longer be an easy identification of Christian development with general education. Religious education within the state school systems of modern, pluralist democracies cannot be regarded as intending to nurture Christian faith. But how can Christian nurture be distinguished from good education on the one hand and indoctrination on the other?

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors illustrate the links that bound together the sexual, political and educational concerns of the libertarian left and show how deeply rooted in the past century are the current debates regarding the education of women and workers.
Abstract: IN THE ORTHODOX, "Whig" interpretations of the history of education of nineteenth-century France the focus of attention has traditionally been on the triumph of free, obligatory and secular education. (1) In recent years historians have attempted to provide a more balanced picture by also chronicling the activities of the "losers" in this confrontation - the defenders of religious education. (2) But one group has been left out of both accounts-the propagandists for a working-class education free of the interference of both the Catholic Church and the capitalist state. Of this latter group of thinkers the most interesting was Paul Robin, not simply because his views were the most radical, but because for over a decade this educational anarchist controlled an institution in which he could test his theories in practice. The purpose of the following account of Robin's work is first to illustrate the links that bound together the sexual, political and educational concerns of the libertarian left and secondly to show how deeply rooted in the past century are the current debates regarding the education of women and workers.

TL;DR: In this article, the author specifies eight variables, or dimensions as he calls them, and seeks among other things to find interrelationships between them using causal analysis, and describes both conceptually and operationally; the latter consists of those measurements likely to tap the content of the former.
Abstract: This article is rather complex but very instructive. The author specifies eight variables, or dimensions as he calls them, and seeks among other things to find interrelationships between them using causal analysis. The variables refer to those attributes which seem important in providing and maintaining religious identification in Jews and Protestants. The variables are described both conceptually and operationally; the latter consists of those measurements likely to tap the content of the former.
