Abstract
While the churches’ use of the language of both formation and discipleship is widespread, these terms are not often analysed in much detail. This paper draws on educational reflections on the idea of formation and biblical accounts of the nature of discipleship to offer some further insights. In particular, it argues for a critical dimension within adult Christian education and a recognition of the variety and breadth of the notion of discipleship. It concludes by proposing the category of ‘learning to see’ as one that is fundamental to both the formative and the critical education of Christian disciples.
