Since the events of 9/11 the representation of Islam has increasingly come adrift from its actuality.

The study ranges widely from contemporary film and art to the War on Terror and will be invaluable to readers interested in the politics behind the portrayal of...

This Reader presents writings from both those who assume the existence and possible universality of religious experience and those who question the very rhetoric of "experience."

The public university classroom is a place where socialization still occurs: it's where students learn to be citizens of the world. Having attended to political correctness and multi-culturalism, universities are now facing the issue of spirituality in their quest to educate the whole person. In this book, Chris Anderson takes up this task by carefully exploring how a professor of faith can help a public university accomplish its pluralistic mission.

The Skies of Babylon : Diversity, Nihilism, and the American University
ISBN: 9781933859347 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The contemporary university is a tangled and troubled mess. In "The Skies of Babylon," Barry Bercier attempts to help us see through and beyond the ideological fog that envelops academia by beginning with a simple thesis: the university should exist in service to the desire to teach. Bercier sees in that desire something very close to the desire for life itself, since through teaching one passes on to others the way of life one has received. When measured against that desire, today's colleges and universities are abysmal failures, argues Bercier. The contemporary university is at war with its...

Post-Holocaust Religious Education for German Women focuses on the experiences of second- and third-generation non-Jewish women, highlighting their dual roles as both descendants of a perpetrator community and victims of a patriarchal system.

ISBN: 9780313351891 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Advocates of religious schooling have frequently had to answer the charge that what they supported was un-American. In a book that is more than just a history, Jones tries to make sense of that charge by tracing the development of religious schooling in America over the last 125 years. He explores the rationale for religious schooling on the part of those who choose it for their children and in terms of its impact on communities, and he considers the arguments of those who criticize such schools for undermining efforts to promote national unity. The book focuses on the gradual embrace of... Advocates of religious schooling have frequently had to answer the charge that what they supported was un-American. In a book that is more than jus... |

In recent years the literature on Catholic school leadership in Australia and elsewhere has grown considerably. Comparatively little has been written from the persepective of practitioners. In general, the findings of this research study suggest that lay principals of Catholic secondary schools understand the role of principal of a diocesan secondary school as a ministry within the Catholic Church. While the informants did not use overtly theological terms to articulate this understanding, the accounts of their experience in principal-ship and the insights gained through reflection on their...
