The Foundations and Practice of Adult Religious Education

Elias, John L.

Religion & Spirituality

Krieger Pub. Co

The author presents an analytical and critical study of the well-known and widely read contemporary adult educator Paulo Freire. The text deals with all aspects of his thought, placing at the center of consideration his educational philosophy. It should be of interest to scholars and practitioners in the many fields in which his thought has had an influence: philosophy, theology, education, social theory, political science, social work, and community development. This book would be an excellent supplement to graduate level course work in topics such as the sociology of education, an introduction to liberal studies, or multicultural education.

Schools & Teaching

Dr. Elias has developed an inquiry into the history of philosophical ideas in education, including classical theories and contemporary discussions. This is one of the few books to deal both historically and philosophically with the full range of educational approaches from such noted thinkers as Socrates, Rousseau, Dewey, Montessori, and Freire. By including physical, vocational, and special education, Dr. Elias covers a previously neglected area of educational thought and opens up a most provocative area of investigation.

Philosophy of Education: Classical and Contemporary

Presents several chapters focusing on liberal, progressive, behaviorist, humanistic, and radical adult education approaches and their theorists and practitioners. The last three chapters address the philosophy of adult education from various perspectives, including a glimpse into the past and future of adult education philosophy and a bibliographic essay covering the years 1980-1994.
