Binding Things Together

Teaching as a Religious Activity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Discover the profound connection between teaching and religious activity. Ronald Noone's Binding Things Together argues that education, at its core, is a deeply religious endeavor, offering meaning and purpose to both educators and learners. This insightful exploration contends that religion and education are vital for authentic, rewarding lives, provided they remain free from institutional constraints. Noone examines the evolving landscape of schooling, addressing the influence of technology, the pursuit of wellness, the obsession with data, and the impact of business on education. He challenges readers to consider the cultural questions facing parents, teachers, and religious leaders today. Binding Things Together invites you to: * Understand the religious dimensions inherent in teaching. * Explore the philosophical underpinnings of education. * Navigate the challenges of technology and secularism in schools. * Reclaim the sense of purpose and meaning in the educational experience. For parents, teachers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of education, this is a call to rediscover the sacred in the everyday act of teaching.
