Discerning and Nurturing Life-Affirming Relatedness and Responsible Caring: A Challenge to Religious Christian Education

Joye informs and guides Christian education practice in this pragmatic text. She enforces the idea that the church can make responsible caring real in the educational process if it discerns and cultivates healthy relatedness, thus fostering genuine self-understanding, responsible attachment to significant persons and causes, and meaningful participation in a faith community. The author draws from the theological reflections of Daniel Day Williams, a process theologian whose understanding of love and relationship are integral to the book.Joye, Afrie S. is the author of 'Discerning and Nurturing Life-Affirming Relatedness and Responsible Caring: A Challenge to Religious Christian Education', published 1995 under ISBN 9780819199379 and ISBN 0819199370.
