Biography
Christopher J. Richmann is Assistant Director for Teaching and Learning at the Academy for Teaching and Learning, Baylor University, USA.
“Richmann’s project is original, creative, and eminently practical. Beginning with the classical understanding of knowledge as passion and reflecting in light of that on Mark’s presentation of Jesus as ‘one who teaches with authority,’ Richmann elaborates on the implications of this understanding of knowledge for professors and students…This volume is an ambitious undertaking. Richmann’s argument moves in both directions along a continuum from the philosophical to practical technique, a presentation that requires precision in exposition and argument.”
