PIETAS: The Soul of Christian Learning: Readings on the Purpose of Catholic Education - 9450

Catholic education is animated by “the love of learning and desire for God,” or what we might simply call pietas. In the writing of St. Thomas Aquinas, St. John Henry Newman, C. S. Lewis, Jean Leclercq, O.S.B., and others included in this volume, the reader is invited to delve more deeply into the role of pietas in Catholic education, and thereby to discern the truly distinctive character of a Christian education. Questions explored include: What is the purpose of Christian education? What is distinctive about the Christian teacher, or the Christian student? How can the discipline I teach—whether explicitly religious or not—be oriented towards God? How can I put the wisdom of Christian education to use in my classroom? The answers to these questions are fundamental: at stake is the very the soul of Christian learning.
