Melinda Bollar Wagner

God's Schools

Choice and Compromise in American Society

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Melinda Wagner goes beyond this stereotype to portray the way these schools foster American popular culture and ""professional education culture"" as well as ""Christian culture."" In her participant observation study of a variety of Christian schools (sponsored by fundamentalist, evangelical, new charismatic, Holiness, and Pentecostal Christians), Wagner describes and interprets how such compromises are made.
