Steward of a Living Tradition: Christian Scholarship and Educational Practice - Hardcover
by John Sullivan (Author)
This book explores what is entailed in serving as a steward of the living tradition of the Christian faith in the world of education. It examines:
-tradition as a resource
-leadership
-education as a spiritual endeavor
-curriculum and Christian learning, and
-the task of connecting tradition to culture
John Sullivan engages with historical perspectives and contemporary professional and cultural realities in addressing intellectual and spiritual dimensions of Christian education and the endeavor to make tradition both accessible and meaningful to those for whom it is unfamiliar. Themes pervading the book include fostering a critical appreciation for and a creative appropriation of the living tradition of Christianity, fluency and flexibility in sharing that tradition, vocation and vulnerability, and a striving for interconnectedness and integration in teaching and learning at school and university.
John Sullivan is emeritus professor of Christian education at Liverpool Hope University, UK. He is author of The Christian Academic in Higher Education (2018), Lights for the Path (2022), seven other books, and more than 120 articles and chapters on theology and education.
