Drawing on themes from the forthcoming co-authored volume Teaching and Christian Imagination (Eerdmans), this session is built around an active exploration of the pedagogical imagination of Bernard of Clairvaux. Bernard calls us to trace the threads connecting affect, imagination, and the practice of love. Teaching become breaking bread, learning is a shared meal. How can a focus on Christian imagination frame our approach to the questions of Christian teaching and learning and to past thinkers who pondered them?
