Jesus Christ, Learning Teacher: Where Theology and Pedagogy Meet

Mark Chater is a former teacher, researcher, policy maker and Charity Director, writing on Christianity and education.

Jesus the teacher is so often misunderstood, and we in the churches have to take our share of responsibility for that. Congratulations to Mark for a wonderful new look at Jesus through educational eyes. Jesus Christ, Learning Teacher asks questions about how Jesus the teacher is presented to us in the text of the Gospels, and in the imagination and teaching of the contemporary churches. Bad theology costs lives. But in this book we have good, life-giving theology, good surprises about Jesus, and practical ways forward for the churches. -- Steve Chalke, MBE, Founder and Leader, Oasis Global

An outstanding book, one that needed to be written. It has a strong foundation in scholarship and professional experience. Mark’s argument that the church needs to take the educational Christ more seriously in its educational and pastoral work is topical and compelling -- Fr Richard Peers, Sub-dean, Christ Church, Oxford
