We sensed it would be fitting to invite several ‘critical friends’ of the Journal of Christian Education—those who are likely to have seen it as a significant forum for international thinking on Christians in education—to write a brief testimony to how they personally have perceived the value of the journal.
Here we have included the comments of four such academic colleagues: one from Australia and three from the UK. While the geographical spread of these four is limited, we are sure there are past and present JCE readers in other regions who would also offer insights attesting to the value of the journal in their lives, professionally and personally.
