The Courage to Guide: A Christian Philosophy of Education

Autor Bram de Muynck, Bram Kunz
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 dec 2025
The central idea of this Christian educational philosophy is that teachers are guides. The authors use this metaphor to express that teachers play a crucial role in an era dominated by artificial intelligence and meritocracy. The book addresses the main topics of an educational discourse, such as the role of the teacher, the view on learning individuals, and the nature of knowledge. Besides this, attention is paid to the relationship between pedagogy and theology, the contributions that teachers make to a vital school culture, and how a school can revitalise its Christian identity.
