What Makes Education Catholic

RELIGION / Christian Education / General RELIGION / Christianity / Catholic RELIGION / Spirituality The award-winning author of What Makes Us Catholic provides a rich history of Catholic education from its spiritual roots to the present day. In this readable and timely work, Thomas Groome explores the basis of Catholic education, from the historical Jesus to the Didache, Augustine, and Aquinas, to Merici, Seton, and Ward. Groome shows how these foremothers and fathers of Catholic education ground and shape the spirituality of Catholic educators today. It is these foundations that ensure that Catholic schools today deliver the education they promise to students--not only to Catholic but to those of many religious traditions.
