Workshop Talk | | Theology & Bible, Virtue, Character, Discipline
Summary
In this workshop, we will explore Anselm’s theological and pedagogical method. Anselm famously commended “faith seeking understanding” as a motto for Christian theology. In his own teaching and writing, Anselm saw education as a joint venture between teacher and student in which they sought joy in God through dialogue and disputation. By examining Anselm’s approach to education, we will sharpen our own vision of teaching in hopes of creating “Aha!” moments for our own students.
