This paper presents an introduction for understanding Christian education holistically. The discussion of Christian education to follow covers not only Christian Religious Education (Pendidikan Agama Kristen, PAK) in the context of schools and Congregation Membership Development (Pembinaan Warga Gereja, PWG), but also higher education contexts where instruction is oriented fundamentally according to Christian faith. Emphasized, as well, is the inseparable connection between Christian education for the formation and development of faith, spirituality, and character, and the formation and development of knowledge (academia) and life skills.
This article emphasizes that discipleship is a fundamental task of the church. To guide Christians, particularly adults, for discipleship, literature is needed in the form of easy-to-understand reading materials. Andar Ismail, Christian educator in Indonesia, guides adult Christians to understand Jesus Christ through devotional books called the Selamat Series. Although readers find the works meaningful, they need to be used with a critical mind and attitude.
