{"product_id":"catholic-social-learning-roger-bergman-9780823233298","title":"Catholic Social Learning: Educating the Faith That Does Justice","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe canon for Catholic social teaching spreads to six hundred pages, yet fewer than two pages are devoted to Catholic social learning or pedagogy. In this long-needed book, Roger Bergman begins to correct that gross imbalance. He asks: How do we educate (\"lead out\") the faith that does justice? How is commitment to social justice provoked and sustained over a lifetime? To address these questions, Bergman weaves what he has learned from thirty years as a faith-that-does-justice educator with the best of current scholarship and historical authorities. He reflects on personal experience; the experience of Church leaders, lay activists, and university students; and the few words the tradition itself has to say about a pedagogy for justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCatholic Social Learning\u003c\/i\u003e explores the foundations of this pedagogy, demonstrates its practical applications, and illuminates why and how it is fundamental to Catholic higher education. Part I identifies personal encounters with the poor and marginalized as key to stimulating a hunger and thirst for justice. Part II presents three applications of Catholic social learning: cross-cultural immersion as illustrated by Creighton University's Semestre Dominicano program; community-based service learning; and the teaching of moral exemplars such as Dorothy Day, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and Archbishop Oscar Romero. Part III then elucidates how a pedagogy for justice applies to the traditional liberal educational mission of the Catholic university, and how it can be put into action. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCatholic Social Learning \u003c\/i\u003eis both a valuable, practical resource for Christian educators and an important step forward in the development of a transformative pedagogy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Bergman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823233294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823233298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Roger Bergman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992507613439,"sku":"9780823233298","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_007fa55a-faef-41df-a679-dc37b5c52224.jpg?v=1683319319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/catholic-social-learning-roger-bergman-9780823233298","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
