Summary: "Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns: An Educational Problem for Protestants" by E. A. Sutherland is an educational treatise written in the late 19th century. The work explores the historical relationship between Protestantism, education, and societal advancement, arguing that the decline of true education has contributed to the weakening of Protestant churches and American democracy. The book emphasizes the necessity of a proper education for the youth rooted in biblical principles, positing that such an education is essential for the revival of Protestantism and the maintenance of civic virtue. The opening of the book introduces the core argument that education is fundamentally intertwined with religion and societal health. Sutherland discusses the historical implications of educational systems, tracing the roots back to biblical times, including the Edenic school and the teachings of figures such as Abraham and Christ. He asserts that wisdom and understanding come from a divine source and are best cultivated through faith-based education. The introduction sets the stage for a detailed examination of various educational paradigms, highlighting the consequences of straying from Godly principles in educational practices.
