Craft-education was an important pedagogical model in the ancient world, but its importance was obscured by the common contrast between rhetoric and philosophy. Christian writers such as Gregory of Nyssa used craft-education as a model for Christian formation, because of its powerful emphasis on commitment, time, effort and the willingness of both pupil and teacher to submit to change. In the latter part of my article I will offer a preliminary assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of craft-education as a model for the process of Christian formation.

制造与被制造：手工艺教育作为基督教形成模式的一些初步思考

手工艺教育是古代世界重要的教学模式，但其重要性被修辞学和哲学之间的共同对比所掩盖。像尼萨的格雷戈里这样的基督教作家使用手工艺教育作为基督教形成的模型，因为它强烈强调承诺、时间、努力以及学生和老师都愿意接受改变。在我文章的后半部分，我将初步评估手工艺教育作为基督徒形成过程模型的优势和劣势。
