Seerveld sees a central role in education for understanding and developing history, but then history not as rote rehearsal of what has transpired but as past and present events in their complex interrelation. Education is inevitably an induction into our cultural heritage; conceived ecumenically, in the spirit of loving our neighbors and their mistaken visions, wherever and whenever they may be. But as Cultural Education and History Writing makes plain, we are initiators - culture-makers, shapers of history, and also history-keepers - as much as we are inductees. These seventeen essays are introduced by Doug Blomberg and Gideon Strauss.
