Adult Education in the Church

Roy B. Zuck and Gene A. Getz assembled a wide bench of contributors for this 1970 Moody Press volume, covering everything from Bible study methods to evangelism to recruiting and training volunteer leaders. For its era it addressed a real gap: systematic, theologically grounded guidance for pastors and church educators who needed both the 'why' and the 'how' of teaching adults in a local church. The multi-contributor scope means breadth, and Moody Press is a trusted name in evangelical publishing. The honest caveat is that the book reflects 1970 evangelical perspectives — some ministry models and cultural assumptions will feel dated. It also reads as a scholarly reference rather than a practical handbook. Still a foundational text for church education libraries, with the understanding that supplementary current resources are needed.
