This is Episode 12 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog of Kepler Education.
This episode was recorded for Easter but due to technical difficulties recording a previous podcast, it was delayed.
The content is nevertheless still quite relevant given Easter is the celebration of the most important event in human history, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection absolutely changed everything, including education, since by it Christ “re-formed the human race” as Irenaeus notes in Against Heresies. In his Second Oration on Easter, Gregory Nazianzen affirms the same saying, “A few drops of blood re-creates the whole world.”
In that the resurrection of Christ brings the whole cosmos within range of the redemptive purpose of Christ (Eph. 1), it reaffirms in one sense (Deut 6:4ff), and recreates in another sense (Paideia), the purpose and method of education, making it that much more important for us to get it right.
