This book discusses the relationship between faith, formation and
education. Rooted in a variety of discourses, the book offers
original insights into the education and formation of the human
person, both theoretical and practical. Issues are considered
within a context of contemporary tensions generated by an
increasingly pluralist society with antipathy to religious faith,
and debated from interdenominational Christian perspectives.
Including chapters by an international team of experts, the
volume demonstrates how Christian faith holds significance for
educational practice and human development. It argues
against the common assumption that there can be a neutral
approach to education, whilst at the same time advocating a
critical dimension to faith education. It brings fresh thinking
about faith and formation, which demands attention given the
fast-changing political, educational and socio-cultural forces of
today. It will appeal to students and researchers involved in
Christian educational practice.
