“…Children grow up speaking Kinyarwanda, the nation's lingua franca. Like most Bantu languages, Kinyarwanda is tonal and agglutinative, with a transparent orthography that closely adheres to its phonology (Kimenyi, 2009;Trudell & Schroeder, 2007). The language contains 24 consonant and five vowel phonemes (Simons & Fennig, 2018).…”

The Home Literacy Environment in Rural Rwanda and Its Relationship to Early Grade Reading

The developing world faces a learning crisis, wherein children fail to master basic skills despite years of primary school attendance. The literature indicates that both in-school and at-home experiences impact children's reading development, yet most developing world studies focus on children's in-school experiences exclusively. This current study addresses this imbalance by exploring the home literacy environment in rural Rwanda and its relationship to children's reading development. The data come from 466 parent surveys and 466 child reading assessments. An exploratory factor analysis of the survey data yields 5 distinct factors of the home literacy environment: family literacy and learning at home, parental competency in literacy, reading materials, child interest in literacy, and religious-related reading activities. Multivariate regression analyses reveal that family learning, parent competency, and child interest significantly predict early grade reading achievement. Implications of these findings for the developing world's learning crisis are discussed.Children in developing countries are enrolling in primary school in record numbers, thanks to the abolition of school fees and the passage of compulsory education laws over the past quarter century. Despite the newfound, unfettered access to education, however, hundreds of millions of primary students never master basic skills like literacy (UNESCO Institute For Statistics, 2017). Developing world governments are routinely urged to rely on evidence-driven methods to address this "learning crisis" (United States Agency for International Development, 2011;World Bank, 2018b). The evidence base clearly suggests that both home and school related factors impact children's reading development (Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1998), yet nearly all developing world research to date to address the learning crisis only examines school factors while ignoring children's homes, as evident in several reviews and meta-analyses

“…And when I said: It is written (in the gospel, of course), they answered me: That deserves investigation". 147 The faith of Ignatius's adversaries in the gospel is founded exclusively on the "archives", that is, the Old Testament. 148 We do not know exactly what they claimed to be missing from the gospel, but nothing really prevents us from once again identifying the content and interpretation of the Gospel of the Hebrews as the specific object of the dispute between Ignatius and his opponents at Philadelphia, too.…”

This article deals with two very strange Gospel quotations found in the letter of Ignatius of Antioch To the Smyrnaeans and in a fragment of the treatise of Papias of Hierapolis An Exegesis of the Sayings of the Lord. By means of an in-depth analysis of the available Patristic evidence and a comparison with the Judaeo-Christian Gospel tradition, the author tries to demonstrate that these are the two oldest known quotations of the Gospel according to the Hebrews, and shows the possible consequences to be drawn for a better understanding of the developments of the Gospel tradition from its origins until the end of the second century.

“…98 While Dalton connects 1 Peter with primitive Christian eschatology, distancing it from these 'later speculations', the widely accepted dating of 1 Peter late in the first century makes the early context less plausible and the later connections more likely. The Gospel of Peter, for example, which most scholars date to the second half of the second century, possibly earlier, 99 records a dialogue between a voice from heaven and the cross which emerges from Christ's tomb following three men coming out from it (two having entered): 'And they heard a voice out of the heavens crying, "Have you preached to those who sleep? ", and from the cross there was heard the answer, "Yes"' (Gos.…”

Who are ‘The Dead’ and When was the Gospel Preached to Them?: The Interpretation of 1 Pet 4.6

The interpretation of 1 Pet 4.6 which sees 'the dead' as Christians who heard the gospel during their lifetime but who have since died is becoming increasingly widely accepted, especially in recent commentaries in English. William Dalton's monograph Christ's Proclamation to the Spirits has been influential in promoting this view. However, despite its current popularity, there are serious problems with this interpretation, especially in its dependence on assuming a primitive eschatological context for 1 Peter. The view of the verse as referring to a proclamation made to people already dead, on the other hand, is more plausible than recent commentators suggest, and can be defended against their criticisms. IntroductionAmong the difficult passages in 1 Peter, two stand out as particularly enigmatic: 3.18-22 and 4.6. Paul Achtemeier describes the former as 'the most difficult passage in the entire letter', while the latter is also 'replete with difficulties'. 1 Norbert Brox likewise refers to the sentence in 4.6 as 'extremely difficult': 'Er gehört m. E. zu den nicht mehr sicher erklärbaren Texten des 1Petr und ist diesbezüglich noch dunkler als 3, 19-22.' 2 In his review of the history of interpretation of 1 Pet 4.6, William Dalton lists four different proposals. 3 The first is that the verse refers to 'Christ's preaching,  New Test.
