Since the Enlightenment and the Revolutions it fostered, the Church has navigated a treacherous and sterile social and intellectual landscape. Through it all, Education has remained a chief concern. Fr. Hugh and Fr. Ambrose cover a lot of ground in this introduction to modern Catholic Education. From the emergent relativism of the Enlightenment, to the social questions of the New World, to the academic crises of the present day, Fr. Hugh traces the Church's approach to education and explains why it remains as important as ever.
