Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns: Education for Protestants by E A Sutherland

“D’Aubigne says that in the Reformation, ’the school was early placed beside the church; and these two great institutions, so powerful to regenerate the nations, were equally reanimated by it. It was by a close alliance with learning that the Reformation entered the world.

“True education, Protestantism, and republicanism form a threefold union which defies the powers of earth to overthrow; but today Protestant churches are growing weak, and the boasted freedom of America’s democracy is being exchanged for monarchical principles of government.” - From the Introduction

Level of Difficulty: Primer: No prior subject matter knowledge needed.
