Learning in the Way
Adult Christian learning is central to the life of the Christian church, and is essential for its health, outreach and very survival. Leading Christian educators here apply the principles of Christian education to adult learning in the churches, and present the results and methods of empirical research relevant to the church's ministry of adult Christian education. This book will be of interest to all who are concerned for the ways in which adults learn to be Christian. The editor, Jeff Astley, is Director of the North of England Institute for Christian Education and Honorary Professorial Fellow in Practical Theology and Christian Education in the University of Durham.
Christian Faith and Christian Learning
Following a critical analysis of the pedagogical theology and practice of Christian learning, this book develops a radical alternative account of ‘faith learning’. Recognising the ways in which institutionally anxious churches are turning to processes of education and ‘discipling’, it takes the reader through a theological action research journey to offer a practical–theological response to the question of how Christian faith is learnt and handed on in ways that really make a difference. Through close engagement with the practicalities of one declining denomination (British Methodism), the authors offer a distinctive vision of Christian learning and enable fresh thinking and practice. There is a call for a move beyond educational ‘courses’ towards a more profound engagement with the complexities of real life as not only the place but the ‘matter’ of faith learning. Theologically, the book offers a vision which pursues questions of divine and human agency, the work of the Spirit in ‘learning’, the role of normative tradition, and the important place of Christian lay people and their daily lives in learning. Ultimately, it seeks to give substance to a fresh concept of ‘faith learning’, which is holistic, integrative, and inductively achieved, and finds its fulfilment in lives lived in faith, hope, and love.
