Desiring the Kingdom

Philosopher James K. A. Smith reshapes the very project of Christian education in “Desiring the Kingdom.” The first of three volumes that will ultimately provide a comprehensive theology of culture, “Desiring the Kingdom” focuses education around the themes of liturgy, formation, and desire. Smith’s ultimate purpose is to re-vision Christian education as a formative process that redirects our desire toward God’s kingdom and its vision of flourishing. In the same way, he re-visions Christian worship as a pedagogical practice that trains our love.
