Dr David I. Smith on a theology of education, power and hospitality
This week’s guest will be well known to many of you if you’ve been thinking about christian education for a while. At CEN’s ITEC conference last month I got to sit down with one of our keynote speakers, David I Smith. David is a Professor of Education at Calvin University; Director of the Kuyers Institute for Christian Teaching and Learning, and is an internationally recognised voice on Christian education as an author and speaker. He’s probably best known for his 2018 book, “On Christian Teaching.”
He’s known for his intentionally practical approach, so in this discussion I really wanted to look under the hood, to hear what theology drives his thinking and approach in general, which was fun! We talk through his main theological sources, we discuss power and how we might understand hospitality theologically, a key theme of his writing.
