James K.A. Smith ... makes a wonderful distinction between education as information and education as formation. ... Early on in the book [Desiring the Kingdom] Smith makes the vital point that education is about shaping desire, and not so much about dropping worldview modules into the brain, like they were so many wood pellets for that special intellectual stove of yours. What he calls shaping desire, I have called teaching students to love the standard.
