The goal has been rather to obtain a single, comprehensive, balanced view, and attempt at basic organization into a coherent whole of all the elements in the science of religious education---a correlated system of fundamental ideas by which particular theories and efforts in religious education may be guided and tested.

The execution of this aim led to the preparation of a tentative syllabus on the principles of religious education for study and general comment and criticism. Further working over and elaboration followed. Most of the material herein offered, therefore, has been tried out; for over three years in the cas of two church colleges, and for one year in tow others.
