Back to EpisodesWOF 372: Christianity and the Crisis of the Universities w/ Jessica Hooten Wilson
Published 3 years, 1 month ago
Description
Friends, when universities turn to the secular narrative of the ego drama, which views education as directed to self-advancement alone, they suffer a loss of identity.
In her talk at the recent Good News Conference, Jessica Hooten Wilson offers a different vision of education that is based on an apprenticeship to tradition and is oriented toward a contemplative life for both educators and students.
Moving toward this vision creates a university system that orders its teachers and students to a good beyond themselves.
