Next to several other domains in philosophy, in his writings Professor Nicholas P. Wolterstorff has also dealt with issues belonging to the field of philosophy of education. In his own Christian, creative and open way he is striving to use the ties between education and character formation on the one hand, and his Christian theology on the other hand. All this is in the service of the praxis of Christian education. In this article a reconstruction is offered of the continuities and/or discontinuities in his contributions to the philosophy of education. Besides, the question is posed whether certain topics are not given continuously or hardly any attention by Wolterstorff.
