Because Christian education is conceived primarily in terms of information, assuming the philosophical anthropology behind that, it should be no surprise to find that Christian faith doesn’t touch our pedagogical commitments. Instead, we adopt the pedagogies of rationalist modernity and drop Christian ideas into the machine. But that’s a bit like taking a pizza crust, putting kidney and mushy peas on top, and then describing it as British cuisine. We need to think further about how a Christian understanding of human persons should also shape how we teach, not just what we teach.
