QR code
"Organizing and Building Up the Sunday School" by Jesse Lyman Hurlbut is a guidebook focused on the organization and management of Sunday schools, likely written in the early 20th century. This work offers a comprehensive look at the historical principles, structural needs, and essential components of a well-functioning Sunday school, presenting both practical advice and theoretical insights into religious education. Topics covered include teacher qualifications, departmental structures, governance, and the relationship between
the Sunday school and the church. The beginning of this manual introduces the magnitude and significance of the Sunday school movement, stating that by the early 1900s, it was a prominent institution impacting millions across various social classes. Hurlbut traces the origins of the Sunday school back to the late 18th century with Robert Raikes' pioneering efforts in England, discussing its development into a lay-led, self-governing entity that emphasizes religious instruction through the study of the Holy Scriptures. This opening portion lays the groundwork for a deep dive into the systematic structure needed for effective Sunday school operation, highlighting the importance of graded classes, teacher training, and creating an inclusive environment for learners of all ages.
