Article on Contemplative Pedagogy at Mere Orthodoxy

Mere Orthodoxy, a Christian online journal, has run a long article (5k words) I’ve written onChristian Pedagogy, C.S. Lewis, and Contemplation. The piece is the end result of a lot of thinking I’ve done over the past few years about what, if anything, should define how Christian teachers teach. Alan Jacobs’ book The Year of Our Lord 1943, which I reviewed for Marginalia, sparked these ideas. His book examines C.S. Lewis, Simone Weil, and W.H. Auden, among others, and my ideas here are indebted to his.

Thanks to Jake Meador for some excellent suggestions that greatly improved the piece. If you aren’t familiar with his journal, do check it out—it’s excellent.
