Bible teachers have an ideal model for evaluating their pedagogy: the Master Teacher Jesus Read through the Gospels, and you quickly reach the conclusion that Jesus was a dynamic, remarkably effective teacher; never boring, always stimulating; never obtuse, always clear; never pompous or distant, always personal and lovingly concerned," writes Roy Zuck Zuck explores Jesus' involvement of students in the learning process, his modeling of truth, his method of responding to questions, his use of rhetorical technique, visuals, and illustrations, and his attitude toward those who sat under his instruction. Zuck covers the Rabbi's overall style and its impact on disciples, the general public, and those who rejected him.

Published prior to 1971 under the title: Jesus: the master teacher.

They called him Teacher this book is an attempt to analyze the teaching strategies, methods, approaches and philosophies of Jesus. It is not an effort to measure the teaching methods, approaches, and/or strategies of Jesus' teaching against secular thinking, theories and philosophies regarding education. It is not a step by step how-to manual on the means to transfer learning from the teacher/professor's brain to the student's brain. It is designed to portray not only what Jesus taught, but also how He taught it. He knew what to teach and how to do it in ways that are comprehensible to man. It is an attempt to help dedicated teachers understand the high calling they have because the Son of God allowed himself to be called, "Teacher". Carol P.
