«Jacques Maritain is a classic figure in Catholic philosophy of education as well as other areas of philosophy. His educational theory is admirably served by the careful exposition and analysis that it receives from Dr. Luz Ibarra. Her work not only clearly expounds his general philosophy of education but also pays special attention to its relevance for the teaching of religion and theology at all levels of education. Dr. Ibarra makes a convincing case that the enterprise of Catholic education can benefit greatly from a contemporary study of this renowned scholar.» (Prof. John Elias, Fordham University, New York) «Dr. Ibarra’s work marks another juncture in the vibrant history of Maritain studies. In exploring the educational theory of Jacques Maritain, Dr. Ibarra brings a much-needed intellectual rigor to the field of religious education. Her work elaborates how religious educators could benefit from Thomistic approaches to education, a relationship that has been dismissed, by some, as worthy only of historical memory. This work, in being philosophically rooted, will be of benefit to religious educators from all traditions.» (Prof. Mario D’Souza, University of St. Michael’s College, Toronto)
