Christian Education for Social Change in India explores the pivotal role of Christian education as a catalyst for social change, emphasizing its historical adaptability to societal demands. The book highlights transformative learning that prioritizes liberative pedagogy, intercultural dialogue, and activism, particularly in empowering marginalized communities to confront systemic injustices and cultivate compassionate leadership. It advocates for an educational approach that promotes reconciliation, peace, and justice while addressing institutional issues and gender inequities. By emphasizing holistic and context-specific education that incorporates real-world realities, religious traditions, and indigenous wisdom, this work serves as a vital resource for Bachelor of Divinity (BD) and Master of Theology (MTh) students studying Christian education for social change, equipping them to create transformative learning environments that substitute critical awareness and faith formation.
