Summary: | This article proposes the Incarnation as a theological principle that illuminates the educational task, especially for Christian-oriented schools. Initially, I develop keys to understanding the Incarnation as an integrating event that can help us understand education as a comprehensive phenomenon. Then, I explore implications: First, based on the symbolism of the Incarnation as act of weaving, I consider education as a set of processes that allows the emergence of the divine-human vocation; second, studying can be conceived as a tool for a comprehensive weaving of a person’s true self. I discuss the validity of the implications of this perspective. |
