Editorial: Catholic Education and the Liberal Arts.

This Special Issue of I Religions i offers a welcome opportunity to explore the argument that the Liberal Arts lie at the heart of the Catholic vision of education. Catholic institutions, if faithful to the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, do not just explore the Liberal Arts from a distance as one more historical phenomenon but strive to shape curricula so that the Liberal Arts are foundational to and integrated within the wider educational experiences on offer in the institution. Although the curricular I content i of a Liberal Arts programme is, of course, important, of equal value is the wider approach to teaching and learning which the Liberal Arts programme should exemplify.
