Dominican Approaches in Education: Towards the Intelligent Use of Liberty

by Gabrielle Kelly (Editor), Kevin Saunders (Editor)

Bringing together a range of scholarly and reflective contributions from every continent, this book offers an introduction to the sources and principles of Dominican values in education as exameplified in key figures in the tradition. At the same time, it provides a broad sample of the many contexts in which Dominican education, understood in the widest sense, and by both men and women, religous Sisters and Friars (and integral to the very purpose of Dominican life) has found expression, past and present. Philiosophers, educators, activists, formators, healers, theologians, artists, preachers and teachers at many levels share their analysis and views. Contributors include Timothy Radcliffe OP, fomer Master of the Dominican Order, Albert Nolan OP, from South Africa and Susan Noffke OP, key writer on Catherin of Siena.
