Publisher's Synopsis
""School And College Credit For Outside Bible Study: A Survey Of A Nonsectarian Movement To Encourage Bible Study"" is a book written by Clarence Ashton Wood and published in 1917. The book provides an overview of a movement that aimed to encourage the study of the Bible outside of religious institutions, and to provide academic credit for such study. The author presents a non-sectarian perspective on the importance of Bible study, arguing that it is a valuable source of moral and intellectual education that should be accessible to all students, regardless of their religious affiliation. He describes various programs and initiatives that have been developed to promote outside Bible study, including correspondence courses, summer schools, and college extension programs. The book also explores the challenges and controversies surrounding this movement, including debates over the appropriate role of religion in public education, concerns about the quality and rigor of outside Bible study programs, and conflicts between different religious groups over the interpretation of the Bible. Overall, ""School And College Credit For Outside Bible Study"" offers a fascinating glimpse into a little-known chapter in the history of American education, and provides valuable insights into the ongoing debates over the role of religion in public life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
