Reviews
“This collection serves as a welcome reminder of the important, perhaps life-changing, perspective that the Christian tradition brings to the discussion.” (Revd Canon Professor Kenneth G C Newport, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Academic) and Dean of Education, Liverpool Hope University, UK)
“The formation of the person is an urgent matter for educators who reflect on the role of faith in education. Young persons, on the one hand, should be nurtured to become authentic, critical and faithful believers. On the other hand, they also need to be supported and encouraged for engagement with today’s society. This volume gives us an exciting variety of insight, very helpful for the academic discourse and for further research.” (Professor Bram de Muynck, Driestar Christian University Gouda, Theological University Apeldoorn, Netherlands)
“This is an edited collection that deserves careful reading, study and reflection and will be an important academic resource for students and academics and all those with an interest in Christian faith, formation and education.” (Professor Stephen McKinney, Leader of Creativity, Culture and Faith, School of Education, University of Glasgow, UK)
