Excerpt from Religious Education in the Family
When the Constructive Studies were first projected the church was almost without textbooks in religious education. The Sunday school had always concerned itself with a discussion of the passages of the Bible, but had learned little about proper methods of ascertaining the significance of that literature. The most pressing need, therefore, at the beginning of the new movement in religious education was the preparation of textbooks that should direct students to the correct method of the examination of the biblical material and consideration of its meaning, in order that they might construct for themselves the life, the experience, the teaching therein contained. These Constructive Studies in the Bible have now attained a practically complete curriculum, and the series will continue to be enlarged and improved.
But a thorough system of religious education will comprise in addition to a biblical curriculum many other studies. And these also ought to be constructive. That is to say, students in religion and morals should be observers, investigators, using textbooks as guides that may help them to build up right attitudes, appreciations, understandings.
