Harvard University’s original motto was “Truth for Christ and the Church.” Yale’s motto, “Light and Truth,” is under the Hebrew words Urim and Thummin, the stones in the breastplate of the High Priest that revealed the will of God. Princeton’s motto is “Under God’s power, she flourishes.” At their founding, each of these Universities recognized the singular importance of Christian education in shaping both the clergy and the future leaders of a nation. We once again need to recognize the singular importance of Christian education for the future of the church. The Third Education Revolution is a series of essays to give you, your family, and your church the blueprint for how to create “Pillars of Truth” for future generations.

Is there hope for us amidst this present modern designer disaster? There is! The essays in this book explain why there is hope and present a vision of how that hope may be realized. Timely, practical, insightful and encouraging. This book is most highly recommended.

“Each day we ship our children off for seven hours to be profoundly influenced, taught and raised by strangers. Should we be surprised, then, if our children act, think and behave contrary to how we ‘raised’ them to walk with God? A war is on for the souls of our children and the classroom is the primary battleground. If you want your children to mature in knowledge of truth and their relationship with the LORD, you have to take responsibility for what, when, where, how and why they learn. This book shows the way for a better future for your childrens and nation.”

A fierce battle is on for America’s soul. It will be won by whoever wins education. This book lays out a fresh strategy for infusing truth, purpose and virtue into the next generation. Bolstered by a rich understanding of history, philosophy, sociology and theology, the book asserts that America’s freedom and worldview foundations can be preserved and revitalized by a new reformation. The book demonstrates that God has raised up a team of thought leaders to light up the torch of truth to illuminate the path to a brighter future for our nation and our world.

The Bible transformed societies because it was the foundation of Europe’s medieval and modern education. Universities studied everything because the Bible taught that all things were created by God’s living Word and for His glory. That included my fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. This book explains how God’s Spirit of truth can use the power of the human brain, soul and spirit to understand and teach the truth revealed in God’s works and words. The proposed education revolution will make the church (in Paul’s words) “the pillar and foundation of the truth,” bringing wisdom to academia.

This book echoes a warning and lights a pathway to the triumph of truth. Education is the battleground. Righteousness will not come from government-controlled secularized education and a media promoting self-indulgent materialism. Thought-provoking essays in this book light up the way in for the Christian community to engage with the world God loves, explaining solutions that have worked in the past and offering new solutions that leverage advances in technology and modes of delivery). Here is a way to launch a new revolution in education.

“Our modern world-view crises has positioned the global church for a radical educational partnership that has been missing in its Sunday School culture. Now seasoned Kingdom thought leaders are joining with dedicated pastor/educators to accelerate the discipling and equipping DNA impact of the church to new levels of leadership influence.. The revolution described in this disruptive read will be carried along strategic pathways where the church is already well positioned. It is time to fan into flames the fires that burned hot in the spread of the early church impact on pagan culture. This can become the church’s finest hour.”

A clear track to the needed Education Revolution from the chaos and corruption of secularism that is stealing the soul of our youth and robbing them from their God purposed potential. An essential read!

The Third Education Revolution can serve as a timely blueprint for the 21st Century Church to escape the education wilderness of secularism and pragmatism. This seminal work considers theological and historical aspects and provides a methodology and a new and workable Christian pedagogy. Noted scholars contributed to this profound and culture-shaping book which exhibits "Christ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Col. 2:3).

Our universities actively promote a rigid, anti-liberal left-wing curriculum that is certain to despoil our civilizations. Meanwhile, too many of our churches have long since forgotten their responsibility to make known God’s greater wisdom to rulers and authorities (Ephesians 3:10). This book offers an answer to both problems, by challenging churches to re-discover their age-old mandate to be “pillars of the truth” as they become centers for higher education that is truly liberal and renews our civilizations. The third educational revolution that Vishal Mangalwadi champions can come none too soon!

Jesus commanded His followers to “disciple ALL nations” (Matthew 28:19). When He gave me the seven spheres, he gave this Word: “These are 7 classrooms to disciple nations.” One of the classrooms is Education. If we do not have a revolution in our education we will lose many generations. Education and Family are two of the most powerful ways for discipling nations. I know Vishal Mangalwadi well. His books have been revolutionary. I commend all the other authors that joined Vishal in giving us this book The Third Education Revolution to obey Jesus’ command.

The Third Education Revolution provides a most exciting path for the Church to return to its calling as salt and light: the intellectual guide for society. Must Christian families give their children — God’s image — to Caesar to be deceived? This book presents a challenge that the Church needs to hear. It outline a concrete idea on how to realign the Church to God’s exciting calling to bring truth into the marketplace of ideas and thereby disciple nations. To disciple is to educate. We become what we learn (Luke 6:40). Man’s utopian dreams have always led to destruction. Unchecked power in hum man hands destroys. Truth, not the state’s coercive power is the time-tested road to liberty and peace.

Education is an implicit component of the Great Commission, and all education is religious in nature. Vishal Mangalwadi and other scholars have shown in earlier books, and also here, that the Bible is the source of much that we enjoy today in the modern world, including science and technology, the arts, democratic governance, etc. Today, the humanist academe has become the highway of societal decay under oppressive technocracies. The ecclesia must accept that to be salt and light in this world it has to reform the educational system. That is the way to disciple nations and human flourishing. Tracing the history of Christendom's previous education revolutions, this volume presents a plan for a third revolution, leading the world to the way, the truth and the life.

"We live in a time of great upheaval across many nations, whilst this is not uncommon in the context of most generations it does require that each generation responds to the issues that are before them. The church is in the midst of many challenges that are to some degree of our own doing. We have unfortunately walked away from our responsibility to make nations the disciples of Christ by baptizing them into the glory of the triune God and teaching them to obey the ways of the kingdom of God (Matthew 28). For the most part, we have diminished this great mission to a compartmentalized assignment by dividing some things as sacred and other things as secular; This is something that the Bible never does. Tragically, the education system has also been a casualty in this dualistic error. The body of Christ has allowed this place of divine entrustment to become hijacked by forces that represent the gates of hell. In this book, Vishal Mangalwadi and his team of world-class experts outline more than just a lesson in history, philosophy, and concepts of what should happen. I believe that the book reads more like a war strategy manual and if embraced by the body of Christ in this hour with a long term commitment, we can begin to reclaim this place of kingdom assignment and commissioning. We must take this sector back for the glory of God and the advancement of His kingdom on the earth. I encourage you to read this book and also to prayerfully ask the Holy Spirit what part He is asking you to play in championing the cause for Christ across the education sectors of your nation."

“The amoral power of indoctrination must end. A torch of renaissance, The Third Education Revolution sparks reformation to recover sanity from decades of darkness. As the mortal enemies of objectivity collapse, resurgence of ideological freedom and imagination will commence. This collection of essays will refresh the global conscience with truth, beauty, goodness, and wisdom. Biblically inspired and Gospel motivated, this brilliant providence endeavors to salvage the faculties of the soul, benefit the poor and privileged, and revitalize the world’s economy. Pastors, professors, and parents who long to reverse the deadly chaos of secularism, now is the time to ‘create a truth-based educational ecosystem’ whereby cultural confusion may heal and redeemed humanity may thrive. May the King advance His Great Commission and excite Great Awakening by the strategic influence of this work. Soli Deo Gloria!”

The Third Education Revolution is a clear and striking call to re-center education on Truth. The crisis of contemporary educational models worldwide lies in the inability of a post-modern, post-Christian naturalism to provide cogent arguments for the validity of reason and self-consciousness, and, hence, for the validity of any notion, in any context, of objective truth. If there is no truth, then education is reduced to an exercise of power and manipulation. Education then becomes indoctrination, rather than an exchange of thinking, creativity and imagination that offers freedom from the bondage to ideologically driven power. The Third Education Revolution is a collection of essays that opens the reader to a global, cross-cultural, and cogent call for a student-centered educational process that has truth as its end, goodness as its character, and beauty as its creative expression. I strongly encourage the careful examination of this text as a springboard to the recovery of the learning necessary for flourishing communities.

Shall we subject our children to further indoctrination of atheistic worldview that is pervasive in today’s educational institutions? If we desire to equip our next generation with discerning minds for God’s truth, beauty and goodness, then it’s time to break the status quo. The Third Education Revolution is a battle cry, background study, and broad blueprint for an urgent and necessary movement, calling for a deep-rooted change in education. This rich tapestry of multi-layered work by international authors casts a vision for change and brings to life a plan to disciple nations. It effectively pairs an education grounded in Scripture and steeped in Biblical worldview with the best possible mentorships for our young adults from the Christian community. Parents, students - let this book encourage you and expand your vision with a doable long-term plan. Consider your strategic part in this revolution. Hear the cry, heed the lessons and hone our resources to begin affecting the change!

This is the opportune moment for reforming education. Secularism is failing the nations. The Church needs to step forward to complete Christ’s commission to disciple the nations. This timely book shows how to do it.

Justice and Righteousness are the foundation of God's throne. It follows that the identification, preparation, and education of redeemers of law, government, and business, is an integral part of discipling cities and nations. For 17 years I have collaborated with Christian legal professionals across the globe integrating their faith and calling to fight for the sanctity of life, promote religious freedom, secure justice for the poor, advance peace and reconciliation, and foster integrity under the rule of law. The collection of wisdom and strategy in this profound collection of writings has the potential to identify, equip and strategically create spaces for an army of lawyers and reformers embodied with competence, character, chemistry and Christlikeness, and pave the way for the modern Esthers, Deborahs, Josephs, and Daniels to establish and administer justice, mercy, and grace in the earth.
