"How to Teach Religion" by George Herbert Betts is a pedagogical guide published in the early 20th century. Focused on the principles and methods essential for teaching religion, the text outlines the responsibilities of educators in instilling religious values and knowledge in children, emphasizing the profound impact that teachers can have on their students' spiritual development. The opening of this work introduces readers to the vital role of the teacher in religious education. It stresses that effective teaching goes beyond imparting knowledge; it involves cultivating a strong personality that embodies the values being taught. Betts discusses the importance of understanding the needs of children and the personal connections that can foster an enduring enthusiasm for religious life. He encourages teachers to be well-prepared and nurturing, highlighting that the true objectives of teaching religion lie in shaping the character and spiritual growth of their students rather than merely covering the subject matter.
