Beskrivning
Casting a light on one of the leading British scholars working in the field of Catholic Education Studies, this edited volume scrutinises contemporary issues surrounding the scholarship of John Sullivan over the past three decades, demonstrating the field’s development under his scholarly influence.Giving voice to many internationally established and leading Catholic education scholars, chapters review and critically appraise the contribution of Sullivan’s work in key areas such as his call for a coherent philosophy of Catholic education; a broader, more inclusive Catholic culture; robust teacher formation; and a coherent understanding of Catholic higher education. The book also discusses the interplay between the pastoral and the prophetic – two complementary aspects that underpin much of Sullivan’s work.Ultimately posing questions for how Catholic educators can and should build on Sullivan’s foundational legacy, this book will appeal to scholars, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of religious education, history of education and Catholic educational studies more broadly.

"It is at the grassroots level of parish and deanery, that I first met Professor John Sullivan, some two years ago now. He had accepted an invitation to sit on our new Deanery Synodal Council. As Dean, I was made aware of his particular academic gifts by his former parish priest, but also his extensive involvement both in his own parish and other parishes in the deanery. It is only this aspect of John’s life that I am qualified to speak of, but one could argue it is the most important. I have seen him as a man of many parts; musician, dancer, dish washer, kind listener, being just a few. The picture I am sketching here is of a man who delights to be among his brethren, responding generously to invitations to speak on different topics of contemporary concern in the Church, but simply happy to be part of parish and deanery life. In short, a man who is very much at home among the grass roots. Catholic education has been John’s area of expertise and practice over many years. His academic achievements have been significant. None of this should obscure the fact that he has recognised and sought to live the one thing necessary which animates all else; to turn to Christ, to walk with him and know him better. It is in this light, surely, that the following contributions ought to be read."Monsignor John Walsh Dean, Sefton Coast North Parishes, RC Archdiocese of Liverpool
