About This Book

The author argues that the family should be the central arena for religious formation, urging parents to adopt religious motives and social responsibility rather than selfishness. It surveys the modern status of family life, examines enduring family elements, and outlines how children form religious ideas. Practical chapters treat directed activity, the home as a school, storytelling and Bible use, family worship, the significance of shared meals, relations with church and school, and approaches to moral crises. Guidance is offered for parents, classes, and youth work, with suggestions for group study and further reading, combining theoretical framing with practical, moral, and pedagogical recommendations.
