The Catholic Teacher: Teaching for Social Justice with Faith, Hope, and Love

Autor James D. Kirylo
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 feb 2023
James D. Kirylo gives a personal and reflective account of what it means to be a Catholic teacher, drawing on the rich history of the Church and its inclusive nature through ecumenical, interfaith, and interreligious dialogue, along with the Church's social teachings and its link to liberation theology and a critical pedagogy in the light of faith. Recognizing teaching as a sacred vocation, Kirylo covers how faith should inform the practical matters of teaching and how these intersect with broader debates outside the classroom, including the COVID-19 pandemic, gun control, the sanctity of life, and climate change. The Catholic Teacher: Teaching for Social Justice with Faith, Hope, and Love is a book that underscores the dialectical interweaving of faith and action in the effort to foster a more just, loving, and right world.

Recenzii

Written in a spirit of humility, graced with an ecumenical and interreligious air, and coming from an evident place of deep faith, James D. Kirylo underscores the interweaving link between a contemplative way of being and what it means to live an active faith life. Truly this book is a necessary read for all Catholic educators, really for all social justice workers.
A hopeful, heart-warming narrative on what it means to teach in the light of faith. Throughout the reading of this text, I felt very connected to God as it relates to the Latin American struggle we daily see in our classrooms.
James D. Kirylo illustrates and fosters his conviction that a Catholic teacher is one who engages and draws others from a well-informed, radical lived faith. An educator in and beyond the classroom, Kirylo is a challenging and compelling voice for Christian seekers. His teaching has the power of credibility.
Thoughtfully drawing from the social teachings of the Church and skillfully utilizing a liberation theology lens, The Catholic Teacher is essential reading for those who seek to make connections relative to education, emancipation, spirituality, and religion.
