James D. Kirylo gives a personal and reflective account of what it means to be a Catholic teacher, drawing on the rich history of the Church and its inclusive nature through ecumenical, interfaith, and interreligious dialogue, along with the Church’s social teachings and its link to liberation theology and a critical pedagogy in the light of faith. Recognizing teaching as a sacred vocation, Kirylo covers how faith should inform the practical matters of teaching and how these intersect with broader debates outside the classroom, including the COVID-19 pandemic, gun control, the sanctity of life, and climate change. The Catholic Teacher: Teaching for Social Justice with Faith, Hope, and Love is a book that underscores the dialectical interweaving of faith and action in the effort to foster a more just, loving, and right world.
James D. Kirylo is Professor of Education at the University of South Carolina, USA. Among other books, he is the author of The Thoughtful Teacher: Making Connections with a Diverse Student Population (2021), editor of Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed (Bloomsbury, 2020), co-author of Paulo Freire: His Faith, Spirituality, and Theology (2017), and author of Paulo Freire: The Man from Recife (2011).
