This vintage paperback edition of “Wider Grows the Kingdom” offers a fascinating glimpse into mid-20th century religious education materials. Part of the “Course VI” series from the Church of Christ, it represents a pivotal era when many denominations sought to modernize their curricula and teaching methods. While the condition shows signs of love from decades of use, the book’s well-preserved state allows collectors and researchers to explore the evolving pedagogical approaches and theological perspectives of the time. Ida Binger and Martin Hubbard’s collaborative work not only illuminates the specific practices of the Church of Christ but also reflects broader trends in American Protestant education during this period. For those interested in religious history, education theory, or the intersection of faith and culture, this modestly worn volume holds rich insights into a transformative chapter.
