Dr. Ted Newell of Crandall's Education department, has released a new book discussing the history of education from a Christian perspective.
Education: A Student's Guide, is part of the series, "Reclaiming the Christian Intellectual Tradition," edited by David S. Dockery, and shows how exploring Christian thinking about education throughout history can equip educators today to reclaim their task.
Education has the power to shape a culture, influencing the formation and transmission of cherished traditions, foundational narratives, and core values across generations. This guide seeks to reclaim a vision for a distinctly Christian approach to education aimed at fostering a renewal of Christianity in our day.
John Milbank, Professor Emeritus at the University of Nottingham, said of Dr. Newell's book: "A future Christian revival may depend on the development of a Christian alternative to our current mode of education, which has surrendered to liberal, managerialist, and technocratic ideology. A Christian alternative can potentially exercise mass appeal and therefore prove the most effective instrument of mission for the future. Ted Newell has produced an immensely useful handbook for this task. I thoroughly recommend it."
