Learning for Life

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Anchored in the secularized Dutch school context and based on careful empirical research, Mulder and van den Berg develop a solid didactic concept for the religious education classroom. Supporting children in exploring, understanding, and communicating their worldviews—in relationship with traditions, fellow learners, and their own journeys—is the central focus of this concept. The authors explicitly refer to imagination as the added value to the concept and as the necessary condition for sustainable ‘learning for life.’”

The Five Questions

Children & Youth

“Those who care about the faith of young people must dare to trust their resourcefulness and decisiveness ‘to make this world a better place.’ This presupposes intergenerational awareness to understand their voice, appropriate tools to strengthen their voice, and creative ways to respond to it in congregation and society. This state-of-the-art book offers a comprehensive practical-theological framework to carry out this inquiry hermeneutically and empirically in optima forma.”

The Grace of Playing

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Courtney Goto not only invites the reader into gardens of graceful action and reflection, she also encourages him/her to engage in the risky enterprise of doing theology in a truly interdisciplinary way. In this book the performance of religious education as play produces new, performative theologies. This is practical theology at its best!”
