Christian Nurture is a book written by Horace Bushnell, originally published in 1847. The book is a treatise on the subject of Christian education, specifically the role of parents in the spiritual development of their children. Bushnell argues that children are born with a natural inclination towards God, and that it is the responsibility of parents to cultivate this inclination through nurturing and instruction. The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the nature of childhood and the role of parents in shaping their children's character. The second part explores the various methods of Christian education, including the use of scripture, prayer, and religious instruction. The third and final part of the book discusses the importance of the church and community in the spiritual development of children.Throughout the book, Bushnell emphasizes the importance of a loving and nurturing environment for children, and stresses the need for parents to model Christian virtues and values in their own lives. He also addresses some of the common challenges and obstacles that parents may face in raising their children in a Christian home, such as the influence of secular culture and the difficulties of discipline.Christian Nurture is considered a classic work on the subject of Christian education, and has been influential in shaping the way that many Christians think about the role of parents in the spiritual development of their children.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
