Saint Paul and the Education Encounter

Beschreibung

This book connects the Biblical Paul’s work as an educator with the revival of interest in Paul’s impact on contemporary social and cultural experience, sometimes referred to as ‘Paul’s new moment’. It presents Paul's letters as being the testament of an educator who brought a radical emancipatory approach to the communities with whom he lived and worked. The book draws on history, philosophy, New Testament studies, and social theory to present the case for Paul as the initiator of a pedagogy of the event. This book explores the concept of a pedagogy of the event, and provides a case study of success in its implementation.

“A strength of this book is that Victory sees learning not only as a matter of individual appropriation, but also as a social practice, carried out in community … . Victory successfully conveys Paul’s modelling of how to promote learning communities for modern secular educators.” (John Sullivan, International Journal of Christianity & Education, Vol. 28 (2), 2024)
