What is a Classical Liberal Arts Education? Why is it so important for the development of a person?
Fr. Juan R. Vélez answers these and more questions you might have about University Education in the 21st century. This book is aimed for parents, prospective University students, and educators. It will help you discern why adding Liberal Arts electives to your education will help it form it better, and help the student learn to reason, and not just learn.
He also explains how many Universities have changed the true meaning of Liberal Arts, and the subjects, and gives advise on how to choose College Campus, Subjects, and Teachers.
A wonderful book that every parent should also read way before your children are College bound. A Liberal Arts education can start earlier in life, even from home.
It is hard to think of Fr. José without also remembering his penetrating look, gentle smile, and love for the Church.
Mary models the perfect disciple who, simply, never stops following her Lord.
People in the world, even the well meaning, see the world and believe that this world they see and live in is all there is.
Newman describes the vocation of following Jesus as, being like him, leaven for the dough.
As Prophet, Priest and King, Christ shares God with man and identifies with us in our humanity.
We must not measure faith by the world, but learn to see as God sees.
