Training the Teacher

The book offers a practical roadmap for anyone called to lead a Sunday‑school classroom, beginning with clear guidance on how to launch a teacher‑training class. It walks readers through the essential partnership between pastor and superintendent, the small‑group start‑up, and the selection of participants, whether they are experienced teachers or new volunteers. Throughout, the authors stress simplicity and prayerful preparation as the foundation for effective instruction.

Divided into four main sections, the text blends biblical study, a brief look at how children’s minds develop, basic teaching principles, and the logistics of running a school environment. Supplementary chapters explore the historical transmission of Scripture and provide concise overviews of biblical books, giving trainees both content knowledge and pedagogical insight. The result is a concise, step‑by‑step guide that equips leaders to nurture confident, well‑prepared Sunday‑school teachers.
