Missed the mark
Peterson mounts a charge towards the benefits of Christian education only to come up short. His book is an appeal to very consevative christian values, has a very narrow view of Christianity and is specific to US culture. Peterson?s purpose is quite obvious, his book is waving the flag of christian education for those who already wholeheartedly believe in it. There are many instances where he could take time and dissect the current public education system, but choses to avoid it. He claims several times throughout the book that his own approach is ecumenical. However after reading the book, I would assert that his views are firmly rooted in the western evangelical tradition of personal salvation, which is best seen today as a peculiarly US of A approach to Christianity.
