Religion, Education and Academic Success
A volume in the series: Research on Religion and Education. Editor(s): Lyndon G. Furst, Andrews University. Stephen J. Denig, Niagara University.
Published 2003
The goal of this book is to examine the relationship between religion and academic success, both historically and in modern society. Very few books are dedicated to examining this very important topic. In addition, to this date there has never been a published quantitative meta-analysis examining the effects of religiosity and religious schools on academic outcomes. It is my hope that this book will be a useful tool for educators, researchers, professors, and parents who desire to examine this relevant and practical area of study. Our nation owes much of its educational foundation to the religious orientation of many of its founders, educational pioneers, and educational reformers. Although educational historians used to focus on the religious and moral orientation of people like Noah Webster, Horace Mann, Johann Pestalozzi, Emma Willard, Friedrich Froebel, and many others, contemporary educational historians inappropriately omit the religious roots of these individuals.
REVIEWS
"Jeynes has accomplished an important task in outlining the statistical evidence in favor of religious schooling and those whose faith commits them to the full pursuit of academic achievement. His parallel summary history of the biblical foundations of American education, and the recent marginalization of Christianity within our national culture since 1963, is a very sobering counterpoint. That he does both without stridency and with judicious moderation is a tribute to his balanced approach." ~ David W. Robinson, Pioneer Pacific College. Read the full review in ICCTE Journal.
