Christ as a Social Group Worker: An Analytical Study of Christ’s Objectives and Methodology in the Formation and Development of the Apostolic Group in the Light of Social Group Work Objectives and Methodology
Abstract
Background and Timeliness of the Study. Recent years have brought an increased interest in the field of small group research. Evidence of this trend can be found in the growing number of periodicals and journals which have appeared, plus the relative wealth of experimental studies, many of which have been recorded, compiled and published by distinguished editors. The breakdown of social mores and customs in society in general and the reverse tendency noted in the study of small groups have encouraged closer scrutiny of this miniature' society as an effective medium of social control. Earlier in the present century, Piaget was interested in studying the small group as a creator and carrier of a sub-culture. Evidence that this "theory still prevails may be found in its continued practical application under a variety of auspices - governmental, military, religious and commercial.
