This is the first book-length study in English to investigate Freire”s landmark educational theory and practice through the lens of his lifelong Catholicism.
A Pedagogy of Faith explores this often-overlooked dimension of one of the most globally prominent and influential educational thinkers of the past fifty years. Leopando illustrates how vibrant currents within twentieth-century Catholic theology shaped central areas of Freire”s thought and activism, especially his view of education as a process of human formation in light of the divinely-endowed “vocation” of persons to shape culture, society, and history.
With the contemporary resurgence of authoritarian political and cultural forces throughout much of the world, Freire”s theologically-grounded affirmation of radical democracy, social justice, historical possibility, and the absolute dignity of the human person remains as vital and relevant as ever.
