MoreLong description:
A distance is opening up between Catholic education and the rich intellectual heritage of the Catholic Church. Education in a Catholic Perspective explores Catholic philosophical and theological foundations for both education per se and for Catholic education in particular. With contributions spanning the theological foundations of Catholic education, the interplay of theology and education, and discussions of the social and missional dimensions of education, this book will be of considerable interest to educators and students of Catholic education, to academics in the fields of applied theology and philosophy and to those with an interest in the foundations of education.
?This book is a tour de force of the intellectual heritage that has a bearing on Catholic education and schooling. It has succeeded in its purpose of "critical retrieval" of Catholic traditions in philosophy, theology and educational theory that can help with the charting of a more meaningful and relevant Catholic education today.? Graham Rossiter, Australian Catholic University, Australia ?...the rich resources within the Catholic intellectual heritage, presented in this collection, provide some antidote to the corrosive utilitarian forces present in the current educational climate in England. Well done to Sullivan, McKinney et al. for their contributions and ideas on possible ways forward in meeting a multitude of challenges faced by leaders in Catholic educational institutions.? British Journal of Religion Education ?...I enthusiastically encourage practitioners or teacher educators to take up this volume in a spirit of enriching their professional conversations about teaching, including what enables or restricts the theory they read from being prominent in current policies, practices, or reform efforts. I sincerely hope that this very fine book makes precisely that impact on the field.? Journal of Moral Education ?...draws attention to the rich theological heritage that Catholic educators can call upon in their practical endeavours. Both Augustine and Aquinas are re-examined and shown to offer many pertinent insights for teachers today.? Pastoral Review 'As Catholic school leaders strive to understand their institution's Catholic identity, they would be wise to reference this text. Students of philosophy and theology will also find this book of interest in relation to their respective fields of study. It could be useful for educational specialists seeking to understand Catholic education. The book provides a rich critical assessment of some of the major thinkers in the history of Catholic education and their import for today.' Reflective Teac
