Saint Bonaventure and the Future of Christian Education
International Journal of Christianity & Education, v26 n2 p135-148 Jul 2022
Four writings by the medieval theologian Bonaventure (c. 1221-1274) provide inspiration for the future of Christian education. His writings cast a vision for Christian education and provide insight into four key areas for hope in the future: a reclaiming of the purpose of Christian education; a recovery of the Great Tradition; a rediscovery of the liberal arts and their natural role in cultivating wisdom and virtue and leading us back to God; and a renewal of the cooperation between the church and the academy.
