Description
Summary:Some of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s major writings emerged from the experience of planning and leading an innovative seminary at Finkenwalde, where there was a strong focus on intentional communal practices. This article uses the process of designing an undergraduate course focused on Bonhoeffer’s book Life Together as a lens through which to question pedagogical practices. The concept of legitimate peripheral participation is used to question the relationship between devotional practice and critical reflection and to explore course design using formative practices.
