The Schooled Heart

The Schooled Heart starkly portrays the current state of American higher education that has abdicated its responsibility for moral instruction, but the authors avoid succumbing to a mere lament and provide a balanced array of practical pedagogical options to encourage moral formation in students. This is a very helpful volume for faith-based institutions and all of American higher education.

Warren Nord and Stanley Hauerwas lead off this stimulating collection on a subject which is attracting prominent concern. Rather than scattering the reader's attention over the whole of the field, the articles are chosen and introduced in close relation to each other and develop a coherent approach, suggesting that we are at a point of convergence in this important area.

~C. John Sommerville, Emeritus Professor of English History, University of Florida

The authors debunk notions of moral neutrality in teaching and provide pedagogical strategies to develop a moral education that can actually work, highlighting the development of several necessary virtues. Practical yet deep, this volume will be a valuable resource for all educators interested in their students' moral development.
