Beskrivning

What is Christian adult learning? What questions are raised when Christian faith and learning meet? Many existing approaches primarily address issues such as curriculum content or teacher character. Building on the work of John Hull, Disruptive Inclusion approaches the intersection of theology and pedagogy suggesting that the christianness of Christian adult learning is best expressed by the posture adopted by learners, not only via what is taught and by whom. Specifically, Jen Smith claims that a key to Christian adult learning posture is how learners include the unexpected and disruptive in their learning. Drawing on key resources, such as the biblical narrative, Christian tradition, liturgy, community and her own experiences, Jen takes us on a deeply personal and practical journey into disruptive inclusion and invites us to re-imagine what effective Christian adult learning might look like in the classroom, pulpit and online learning settings.Blogpost: Disruptive Inclusion: why and how Christian adult learning is for everyone

"Jen provides a helpful contribution for those interested in reflecting on how adults can learn in a way that is Christian. The book invites us to embrace the disruptive in church life as well as in the classroom, as part of our Christian journey. Jen weaves personal stories together with biblical reflection, great anecdotes and important literary voices."
