Summary
Jean Piaget writes, "Education, according to Comenius, is not merely the training of the child at school or in the home; it is a process affecting man's whole life and the countless social adjustments he must make." This issue of Christian History & Biography introduces the father of Christian Education, a man who amidst exile from his homeland held an inextinguishable hope in the faithfulness of God, the one truth of the Gospel, and the unity of the Church.
