| Summary: | THIS PAPER GIVES an account of some aspects of Christian education that are emphasized in Lutheran thinking on education. One of these aspects is a focus on education for everybody, not only Christians, another is the place of paradox and polar structure both in the theology and in the educational thinking. Maybe the most important paradox in this context is what Luther called the model of the two governments. The paper also mentions human finitude as a strongly emphasized aspect, and finally there are some thoughts about how a Lutheran perspective influences the curriculum. |
