With All Your Mind: A Christian Philosophy of Education

by Michael L. Peterson

With All Your Mind makes a compelling case for the value of thinking deeply about education in America from a historically orthodox and broadly ecumenical Christian point of view. Few people dispute that education in America is in a state of crisis. But not many have posed workable solutions to this serious problem. Michael Peterson contends that thinking philosophically about education is our only hope for meaningful progress. In this refreshing book, he invites all who are concerned about education in America to "participate" in his study, which analyzes representative theories and practical strategies that reveal the power of Christian ideas in this vital area.

I very much appreciated this book. He provided a lot of interesting and helpful insights on the current state of education. A few of the chapters were devoted to explaining different philosophies that have influenced education, and he explained them in such a way that you could see the pros and cons before he evaluated it. Some of his data is outdated, but most of his points are still relevant. He writes on a lot of parts of education that are also just important things to know to live life as a Christian. It was very good and fascinating.

A nice overview of the philosophy of education and accompanying philosophies. One idea that will stick with me forever--the Christian mind (in the sense of the faithful individual Christian in academia) exists, but the Christian mind (in the sense of a community of Christians in harmony who are a powerful and respectable force in academia) does not.
