John Baptist De La Salle: His Life And His Institute by Martin Dempsey is a comprehensive biography of the French Catholic saint and educational reformer. The book traces De La Salle's life from his privileged upbringing in Reims, France, to his decision to become a priest and his subsequent founding of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Dempsey explores De La Salle's innovative approach to education, which emphasized the importance of teaching in the vernacular language and the use of practical methods to engage students. He also delves into De La Salle's commitment to social justice and his efforts to provide education to poor and marginalized children.Throughout the book, Dempsey draws on a wide range of primary sources, including De La Salle's own writings, to provide a detailed and nuanced portrait of this influential figure in Catholic history. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Catholic education or the life and legacy of John Baptist De La Salle.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
