Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, in print since 1853, presents a collection of letters written by a Presbyterian minister who passionately argues against the implementation of non-religious, or secular, Common School Systems in Canada and the United States. The author's prose is almost entirely given over to a passionate defense of religious schools and an attack on those advocating for the separation of education and religious teaching. Citing passages from the Bible, the author draws a distinction between intellectual and what he calls 'holy' knowledge. The author sees an inseparable bond between religious values and proper education, arguing that religious directives were, historically, the original basis for the development of educational institutions. The author further posits that the displacement of religious values from education, in favor of purely secular values, has had a negative effect on society and will continue to do so unless religious education is restored to prominence.
