Discription

"The Bible asks us to be wise, but it does not require us to be erudite." By acknowledging this startling—and almost overlooked—fact, Piety and Philosophy begins to answer the question, "What does 'Christian' have to do with 'education'?" And its conclusions are as important as they are compelling. Christians have a unique role to play in the future of American education, and what Dr. Riesen says will provoke plenty of discussion on the subject. Chapters on what makes an education Christian, what the liberal arts have to do with Christianity, and whether Christian education can be too academic, among others, make Piety and Philosophy essential reading for anyone who cares about what it means to educate Christianly.
