Teaching for Spiritual Formation, Paperback

In Teaching for Spiritual Formation, church historian and experienced Christian educator Kyle R. Hughes advances a fresh vision of Christian teaching and learning by drawing upon the riches of the Christian tradition, synthesizing the wisdom of the early church fathers with contemporary efforts to cultivate a distinctively Christian approach to education. Of interest to a wide range of Christian educators, this book examines how the writings of five significant church fathers can illuminate our understanding of the vocation of teachers, the nature of students, the purpose of curriculum, decisions about pedagogy, and how spiritual formation works. Besides reimagining these aspects of Christian education, Hughes also offers habits and practices that can help bring this vision of Christian teaching and learning to life, challenging Christian educators to sharpen their approach to the integration of faith and learning in practical and accessible ways.

Kyle R. Hughes is history department chair and faith-learning integration coordinator at Whitefield Academy in Atlanta. He also serves as director of catechesis at Christ the King Anglican Church. An accomplished researcher in the field of early Christian history, he is the author of How the Spirit Became God (2020) and The Trinitarian Testimony of the Spirit (2018).
