This reader introduces the key theological themes of Catholic
Religious Education today, providing an appropriate core text for
those who are being educated to become Catholic teachers and
preparing to work in Catholic schools. An ideal aid for managers
and classroom teachers, it will also be useful for catechists and
parents. A Companion to Catholic Education is a resource for
Catholic educators designed for use in conjunction with other
dedicated textbooks and good curricular material. It is not a
stand-alone reference guide for educators but will orientate those
new to the study of theology and Religious Education towards the
key theological themes they will encounter in their teaching and
act as a catalyst for further and deeper study of the range of
themes covered. Teachers and student teachers can use this text to
chart their way through the many curricular packages with which
they are faced today. The book is divided into two sections. The
first explores key areas of Catholic thought that are relevant for
Catholic educators - God and Philosophy, Scripture, Christology,
Ecclesiology, Liturgy, Sacraments, Catholic Moral Teaching and
Catholic Social Teaching. The second focuses on pedagogical matters
pertaining to Religious Education and the broader Catholic life and
identity of the Catholic school. Catholic educators are encouraged
to develop their knowledge of theological issues so as to
understand better their vocation as both educator (in the secular
sense) and faith-former (unique to Catholic education and other
forms of faith education). Contributors include: Fr John Bollan,
Roisin Coll, John Deighan, Leonardo Franchi, Fr John Keenan, Fr Tom
Kilbride, Mary Lappin, Stephen McKinney, Catherine O'Hare, Leon
Robinson, Bishop Philip Tartaglia, Karen Wenell, Victoria Harrison
"Our schools and colleges have to be different from others, and the
key to this is in the word 'Catholic'. It identifies them, and
marks them as sharing in the evangelising mission of the one, holy,
catholic and apostolic Church ... This timely publication, which
explores key areas of Catholic thought that are relevant for
Catholic teachers before looking in closer detail at matters
pertaining to religious education and the broader Catholic life and
identity of our schools, will enable all who read it to grow in
this understanding." Rt Rev. Malcolm McMahon OP, Bishop of
Nottingham, Chairman of the Catholic Education Service in England
& Wales "A good school provides a rounded education for the
whole person. A Catholic school, over and above this, should help
students to become saints." His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, Address
of the Holy Father to Pupils, 17 September 2010 Leonardo Franchi
teaches Religious Education in the School of Education at the
University of Glasgow. He has a particular interest in St Augustine
of Hippo's contribution to Catholic educational thought. He is the
editor of An Anthology of Catholic Teaching on Education. Stephen
McKinney is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Education,
University of Glasgow (a former Head of Department of Religious
Education). His research interests include faith schools and
Catholic schools and he has published widely on these topics in
journals and books, including his own edited collection from 2008:
Faith Schools in the 21st Century.
