Informationen zum Autor Gabriel Moran, a teacher of wide experience, directs the Graduate Program of Religious Education at New York University. He is author of fourteen books, including the classic Theology of Revelation. Klappentext Speaking of Teaching: Lessons from History focuses on teaching as a fundamental act of all human beings, viewing the question of teaching through the lens of five famous thinkers and two contemporary problems. Moran argues that teaching is not given the attention that it deserves and proposes to situate school teaching in the context of many forms of teaching.
