ADVANCE PRAISE FOR PAULO FREIRE: HIS FAITH, SPIRITUALITY, AND THEOLOGY
“James D. Kirylo and Drick Boyd’s powerful essays text on the faith, spirituality, and theology of Paulo Freire provide a unique and much needed contribution to our understanding of one of the most influential educational philosophers of the 20th century. By way of thoughtful engagement with Freire’s lived history, praxis, and political sensibilities, they reintroduce us to the man from Recife, through his radical sense of hope, undaunted faith, and the beauty of his implicit spirituality.” – Antonia Darder, Leavey Endowed Chair of Ethics & Moral Leadership at Loyola Marymount University and Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Johannesburg “Freirean orthopraxis has a redemptive as well as protagonistic role. To deny spirituality as part of Freire’s pedagogy of liberation is to enable the abscess of reason to pacify what can only be understood as Freire’s fundamental revelation: to take down from the cross all those who suffer from the crimes of the state. Thus, the generative power of Freire’s pedagogy presents us with a formidable weapon for unmasking the structural sins of the state (i.e., economic inequality, racism, patriarchy) and for emboldening our commitment to justice for those whom democracy has disinherited: the poor and the powerless. Kirylo and Boyd have made an important contribution to our u nderstanding of Freire and his work, and in so doing have taken us further down the long road to justice.” – Peter McLaren, Distinguished Professor in Critical Studies, Co-Director, The Paulo Freire Democratic Project and International Ambassador for Global Ethics and Social Justice, College of Education, Chapman University “This book is indeed an invaluable read for anyone interested in exploring the oftenoverlooked spiritual dimension in the work of one of the most influential educators of the 20th century. Freire’s pedagogy was deep-rooted and substantiated by his Christian faith, which provided him the inspir
