Teaching and Christian Imagination

In Teaching and Christian Imagination, experienced teachers David Smith and Susan Felch offer an energizing Christian vision for the art of teaching, encouraging teacher-readers to reanimate their work by imagining it differently. Smith and Felch, along with Barbara Carvill, Kurt Schaefer, Timothy Steele, and John Witvliet, creatively use three metaphors—journeys and pilgrimages, gardens and wilderness, buildings and walls—to illuminate a fresh vision of teaching and learning. Stretching beyond familiar clichés, they infuse these metaphors with rich biblical echoes and theological resonances that will inform and inspire Christian teachers everywhere.
