This is the First of two lectures given at the Future of Christendom Conference in 2018 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Reading PA.----In this Lecture, Rev. Dr. Paul Michael Raymond explains Christian education's past- where it began, how it began, i.e. by what method, and how syncretism and lack of parental vigilance undermined it, almost destroying legitimate Biblical Education.----Within this lecture, Dr. Raymond gives some hint as to the direction of his next lecture, where he sets forth concrete alternatives to the secular model of schooling.
