The Craft of Teaching: The Relevance of Newman for Theological Education

Pages 269-284 | Published online: 22 Aug 2006
 

Abstract

This article connects John Henry Newman's understanding of university education with the contemporary setting of theological education. In particular, it shows how Newman's notion of a philosophical habit of mind and his understanding of the role of personal influence help facilitate the transformation of a classroom setting into an authentic community of inquiry.

1. In chapter 5 of my forthcoming book (Aquino, in press), I offer some preliminary suggestions on the task of fleshing out a social epistemology of informed judgment in different contexts. This essay applies the notion of informed judgment to a pedagogical context.

I want to express appreciation to my graduate assistant Jason Bridges for his valuable comments on this article.
