Christian Paideia

Vol. II: A History of Christian Education from 500 to 1050 AD

While the first volume of Christian Paideia traces the outstanding achievements of the Church Fathers in their appropriation of Greco-Roman paideia for the Church, the second volume discusses how early medieval thinkers from the Latin West and the Greek East continued and deepened this work. They further developed many aspects of this now-Christian paideia and added much that was creative, spiritual, and even charming in their love and pursuit of wisdom and the truth. They did so even while they faced a range of cultural, educational, and religious challenges in the upheavals that Western and Eastern Christians faced from 500 to 1050 AD.
