What Others Are Saying

Brett Webb-Mitchell's newest book entitled "School of the Pilgrim: An Alternative Path to Christian Growth" is drawing praise from reviewers who read advance copies.





“Like all his books, School of the Pilgrim is both well written and insightful. Not only does it reflect on a very relevant subject, it represents his most original and creative work to date.”

The Reverend Dr. John Westerhoff, author of A Pilgrim People

“Brett Webb Mitchell was forced into taking pilgrimage seriously, as perhaps we all must be, but now we can all learn from his experience of the ups and downs, the ins and outs, the here and there, and the meaning of such waywardness.  …What such travelers need more than anything is food for the journey, viaticum, and this book provides such nourishment.”   

The Reverend Dr. Jerome W. Berryman, Executive Director for the Center for the Theology of Childhood, Houston, Texas

“What I find most impressive about Dr. Webb-Mitchell's scholarship is the accessibility of his ideas, chiefly because of his deft writing style.  Particularly impressive for me is his way of looking at the world through the eyes of handicapped persons, an angle that helps the rest of us recover our own unacknowledged handicaps, and the radical demands of the gospel in our time.”

Michael Warren, Theology Department, St. John’s University, New York

"School of the Pilgrim is the vintage wisdom of one of the most creative and courageous scholars of Christian religious education.  This new book by Brett Webb-Mitchell should be read by everyone concerned with how the Christian community hands on its faith."

Dr. Thomas Groome, Professor of Theology and Religious Education and Director of the Institute of Religious Education and Pastoral Ministry, Boston College, and author of What Makes Us Catholic
