Speaking of Teaching: Lessons from History Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Gabriel Moran again shows how, to the attentive reader, to situate the teaching-learning enterprise within its personal, societal and, for lack of a better word, cosmic perspective. He may no longer be in the popular forefront of contemporary religious education, but that is a great loss for those new to the field as they base their designs on sandy soil. Would that Moran become again a mentor to all those engaged in showing all of us how to raise the questions embedded in the depths of our human experiences, questions the developing answers to which, will anchor each person's quest for meaning, truth, beauty and love.
