Teaching for Commitment: Liberal Education, Indoctrination, and Christian Nurture

Elmer John Thiessen

4.9/5 (20733 ratings)

Description:Thiessen calls for reconstruction of the Enlightenment ideal of liberal education from which the charge of indoctrination typically arises. He argues that liberal education necessarily builds on nurture and therefore needs to be more sensitive to the traditions into which a child is initiated. The ideals of autonomy, rationality, and critical openness - all closely related to the ideal of liberal education - need to be modified if they are to be both realistic and philosophically defensible. Once this is done it can be seen that confessional religious education without indoctrination is possible.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
