Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough examination of the religious elements of Joseph Lancasterâs educational ideas and the potential risks they posed to the Church and Christianity itself. The author dissects Lancasterâs proposal for a national education system that would admit all Christian denominations, arguing that it would lead to a debased form of Christianity or even deism, rather than fostering true Christian values. At the time of writing, the author was concerned about the growing influence of nonconformist preachers and itinerant evangelists and draws attention to the need for greater religious instruction in the national curriculum. Grounded in a detailed understanding of the political and religious landscape of the time, the author provides a comprehensive analysis of Lancasterâs plan, and demonstrates its potential threat to established religious norms.
