This article argues that international-comparative research is increasingly important in an era of globalization. It describes events at Princeton Theological Seminary leading the area of Christian education to change its name to Education and Formation. Drawing on empirical research, it demonstrates the ways formation and education are currently used by U.S. church leaders. Formation is commonly used to describe the way a congregation’s culture shapes the Christian identities of its members and education, teaching content to young people. The article concludes by arguing that these understandings are problematic and offers constructive alternatives based on the theologies of David Bosch and Jürgen Moltmann. Primary missional formation is the church taking form in mission; secondary missional formation is the enculturation of Christian identities through congregational participation. Education involves the upbuilding and criticism of Christian identity.

소개
한국에 복음이 들어오고, 교회가 설립된 것은 19세기 말이었다.
해방이 되면서 한국교회는 더욱 발전하게 되었고 그에 따라 기독교교육의 중요성과 필요성도 강조되게 되었다. 그러한 과정에 기독교교육을 전공한 학자들이 귀국함에 따라 그들을 중심으로 한국기독교교육학회를 결성할 필요성을 느껴 설립하게 되었다.
한국기독교교육학회의 설립 목적은 기독교교육학의 이론적 발전과 실천을 위한 연구와 장을 확대해가려는 것이다. 그리고 학자들간의 연구교류와 교제를 위한 장을 마련하기 위하여 본 학회를 1960년에 설립하였다.
