A Pedagogy of Faith explores this often-overlooked dimension of one of the most globally prominent and influential educational thinkers of the past fifty years. Leopando illustrates how vibrant currents within twentieth-century Catholic theology shaped central areas of Freire's thought and activism, especially his view of education as a process of human formation in light of the divinely-endowed "vocation" of persons to shape culture, society, and history. With the contemporary resurgence of authoritarian political and cultural forces throughout much of the world, Freire's theologically-grounded affirmation of radical democracy, social justice, historical possibility, and the absolute dignity of the human person remains as vital and relevant as ever.EducationPhilosophyEducationBrazilHistory20th centuryChurch and educationEducatorsBrazilBiographyMoral & social purpose of educationbicsscEducationPhilosophy.EducationHistoryChurch and education.EducatorsMoral & social purpose of education370.11/5Leopando Irwin1638839DLCCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910826673103321A pedagogy of faith3981505UNINA
