Book Synopsis



Winner of the Catholic Media Association Award for Faith Formation

*Advance Praise & Reviews*
"Deeply spiritual and profoundly practical--a vision for the future of Catholic education."-- America Magazine

The award-winning author of What Makes Us Catholic provides a rich history of Catholic education from its spiritual roots to the present day.


In this readable and timely work, Thomas Groome explores the basis of Catholic education, from the historical Jesus to the Didache, to Augustine and Aquinas to Merici, Seton, and Ward. Groome shows how these foremothers and fathers of Catholic education ground and shape the spirituality of Catholic educators today. It is these foundations that ensure that Catholic schools today deliver the education they promise to students--not only to Catholics but to those of many religious traditions.

What Makes Education Catholic outlines a Catholic anthropology, sociology, cosmology, and epistemology. It demonstrates how all of us--educators and students, families and communities---serve a public faith that does justice and that is humanizing and emancipatory for one's own good, for the common good, and for all creation.

Review Quotes





*Advance Praise & Reviews*"A compelling vision of education rooted in faith, community, and the transforming love of God."-- National Catholic Reporter

"Grounds Catholic education in its true purpose: forming people of wisdom and compassion who live their faith in the world."-- U.S. Catholic

"An indispensable guide for educators and leaders seeking to sustain the spiritual and moral foundations of Catholic schooling." -- Catholic Education Journal

"Deeply spiritual and profoundly practical--a vision for the future of Catholic education."-- America Magazine

"What Makes Education Catholic is yet another masterpiece by Thomas Groome. Weaving together his mastery of storytelling and deep theological wisdom, Groome's impressive scholarship leads readers to understand not only what Catholic education is, but its value for our complex world." --Melodie Wyttenbach, PhD, Executive Director, Roche Center for Catholic Education, Boston College

"Thomas Groome's What Makes Education Catholic is the most magisterial and comprehensive account we have today on the Catholic educational tradition. Groome writes with complete control of the intellectually demanding material and renders it accessible and enjoyable not just for educators, but for parents and the general public as well. This gem of a book belongs in every thinking person's library." --Dennis Shirley, Lynch School of Education and Human Development, Boston College

"On the whole, the author excellently chronicles the history of Catholic education from its roots to today's current events. He also considers what values Catholic faith emphasizes most, showcasing how anyone can benefit from its solid foundation regardless of one's personal faith or beliefs. If you want to understand the nature of a Catholic-based education, Groome's book will make an excellent resource to your queries."- The Moving Words Review
