The author of this book has been a teacher in a Mennonite school for many years. He has a strong interest in the Christian school and its history. This book answers many interesting questions, such as:

  • Why were the Anabaptists so interested in education that they taught their daughters to read at a time when usually only boys were educated?
  • What did Menno Simons teach about the value of education?
  • Why did the American colonies pass their first education laws?
  • How did the American public education system almost destroy Mennonite involvement in education?
  • Why have almost all concerned Mennonite churches established their own schools?
  • What are some of the threats facing these schools today?

This book traces Mennonite involvement in education from the time of the Reformation to the Conservative Mennonite movement of today.
