New Thinking, New Scholarship and New Research in Catholic
Education gives a forum to many established and leading scholars to
review and critically appraise the research contribution of Gerald
Grace to Catholic education. The book demonstrates the way in which
the field of Catholic Education Studies has developed under the
influence of Grace, to become internationally recognised. This book
demonstrates the ways in which Gerald Grace has shaped Catholic
education since 1997. This begins with the primacy of empirical
study and carefully conducted fieldwork when researching Catholic
education. Many contributors focus on the way Grace champions the
alignment between Catholic education and what we have come to know
as the option for the poor. The collection also reflects Grace's
intention to ensure the voices of women are properly represented in
the field of Catholic education. The book is based on an inclusive
and open principle that seeks to establish dialogue with educators
of different faiths and different religious backgrounds, as well as
secular and humanist critics. It will be of great interest to
academics, scholars and students of religious education, the
history of education and all those interested in the developing
field of Catholic Education Studies. The Open Access version of

It is only in the years since Vatican II that the new thinking
about Catholic education has crystalised into shape. Vatican II and
New Thinking about Catholic Education provides an opportune moment
to take stock of the impact of Vatican II on Catholic education.
This volume considers the various ways in which Vatican II and its
teaching on education has been received and engages with the
challenges and testing times that beset faith-based education in
the twenty-first century. With insights from an international range
of leading and influential advocates of Catholic education, the
volume demonstrates the differing contexts of Catholic education
and explores the ways in which Vatican II's teaching on education
has been received over the past four or five decades.

This book presents a range of perspectives on the current state of
Catholic education in the opening decades of the twenty-first
century. All of the chapters have their origin in an International
Conference on Catholic Education, held at Heythrop College
(University of London) in September 2016. The book brings together
many leading scholars to present a survey of the latest research on
Catholic education in areas such as the aims of Catholic education,
Catholic schools and Catholic identity, leadership issues in
Catholic schools and fresh thinking about the place of Religious
Education (RE) in Catholic Education. This book demonstrates how
the field of Catholic Education Studies has firmly come of age.
Rather than being a subfield of educational or theological
discourse, it is now an established field of research and study. As
such, the book invites readers to engage with much of the new
thinking on Catholic education that has grown rapidly in recent
years. It offers a broad range of contemporary perspectives on
research in Catholic Education and rich insights into current
thinking about Catholic Education.
This volume presents an interdisciplinary and systematic review of
Catholic Education Studies across Ireland and Britain. Taken
together, the chapters drill down to the foundations, identity and
leadership matters in Catholic education and schools. It is in
reading the complete volume that a more precise picture of Catholic
education in Ireland and Britain develops into sharper focus. This
is important because it reflects and crystallises the complexity
which has almost organically developed within the field of Catholic
Education Studies. It also provides a powerful antidote to the
naive reductionism that would boil Catholic education down to just
one or two fundamental issues or principles. Contemporary Catholic
education, perhaps globally but certainly in Ireland and Britain,
is best depicted in terms of being a colourful kaleidoscope of
differing perspectives. However this diversity is ultimately
grounded in the underlying unity of purpose, because each of the
contributors to this volume is a committed advocate of Catholic
education.The volume brings together a rich range of scholars into
one place, so that these voices can be listened to as a whole. It
includes contributions from leading scholars, blended with a
plethora of other voices who are emerging to become the next
generation of leading researchers in Catholic education. It also
introduces a number of newer voices to the academic context. They
present fresh perspectives and thinking about matters relating to
Catholic education and each of them confidently stand alongside the
other contributors. Moreover, these reflections on Catholic
education are important fruits to have emerged from the
collaboration made possible through the creation of the Network for
Researchers in Catholic Education, which was established in 2016
under the auspices of Heythrop College, University of London.

Catholic Education: A Lifelong Journey is an exciting investigation
of Catholic education in the parish, home and school, exploring the
various ways Catholic education is present not only in Catholic
schooling but throughout the whole of a Catholic person's life.
This extensive volume brings together leading and emerging scholars
in Catholic education, from both Ireland and Britain, who offer
important insights into the lifelong nature of the Catholic
education journey, and seek to stimulate a deep sense of enquiry,
exploration, reflection and action. The book comprises two parts.
The first begins with an analysis of theological education and
adult learning, before examining the state of adult religious
education in Ireland and exploring how Catholic education is
interrelated with the life of faith, breathing in and out the
Spirit of God's love. As a whole, this volume encourages an
integrated, faith-community focused, intergenerational, open,
creative, and generous approach to what Catholic education -
broadly conceived of - can be.
Presenting a robust and philosophically based account of education
from the Catholic point of view, Sean Whittle engages with
important debates and questions concerning the nature and purpose
of Catholic education and schooling. The book opens with a review
of the criticisms that have emerged about the prevalence of
Catholic schools within the state system and, indeed, about the
very notion of there being such a thing as 'Catholic education'.
The author then goes on to survey official Church teaching on
education and the work of key Catholic thinkers, Newman and
Maritain, before moving on to discuss the writings of Karl Rahner,
a leading twentieth century theologian. A Theory of Catholic
Education argues that Rahner's approach, with his focus on the
place of mystery in human experience, provides a way forward.
Ultimately, Whittle demonstrates how Catholic theology can offer a
unique and much needed theory of education.
