Publisher's Synopsis
The Educational Covenant is a refreshing challenge to the modern utilitarian understanding of education in our culture. It positively provokes educators and evangelizers alike to take a closer examination of what it means to educate (blurb, Mary Cohen, Associate Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Denver) Taking Christ as its pedagogical model, The Educational Covenant explores the real mission of authentic education: to reveal the human person, to embrace a horizon greater than the human person, and ultimately to form hearts, minds, and bodies to pursue our human destiny as beings on a journey to God. The authors make a colossal contribution to the future of education, producing a thought-provoking, realistic must-read for parents, teachers, religious, and anyone entrusted with the care and education of hearts (Mr. Carl A. Anderson) The Disciples of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary introduce readers to the vision of education as teaching the art of life ....
