Description
Summary:In Part II of our questionnaire, respondents were asked to choose between alternative approaches and methods for religious education. The most dramatic differences occurred on the questions examining perception of the Bible and preferred method of instruction. Southern Baptist and Church of God parents and educators considered the Bible "direct revelation of God's truth for all time" while the others were more inclined to consider the Bible as needing some "cultural translation." Intercorrelation of Part II's questions on methods with the goals of Part I showed strong positive correlation between "conversion" as a goal and direct transmission, personal witness, and biblical literalism as methods and approaches, and negative correlation between "universalizing faith" and these same method and approach values. While all our respondents fall largely into a social-cultural model of religious education, many of the tensions described by Rood and Burgess in their typologies of religious education appear in our data.
