The Liberal Arts Tradition: A Philosophy of Christian Classical Education introduces readers to a paradigm for understanding a classical education that transcends the familiar 3-stage pattern of grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Instead, this book describes the liberal arts as a central part of a larger and more robust paradigm of classical education that should consist of piety, gymnastic, music, liberal arts, philosophy, and theology. The Liberal Arts Tradition also recovers the means by which classical educators developed more than just intellectual virtue (by means of the 7 liberal arts) but holistically cultivated the mind, body, will, and affections. This is a must-read for educators who want to take a second big step toward recovering the tradition of classical education.

“Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries unite!” ― Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

This pocket edition is designed to be convenient enough to easily fit in a pocket, purse, briefcase or backpack, but with text large enough that it is easy to read, and margins large enough to be marked up by students of any age. This new edition, reproducing the 1888 authorized English translation of Marx and Engels's work of political theory. The translation in this edition is the translation authorized by Engels, by Samuel Moore (1838-1911).

The Communist Manifesto (officially Manifesto of the Communist Party) is an 1848 political manifesto by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that laid out the program of the Communist League. Originally published in German (as Manifest der kommunistischen Partei) just as the revolutions of 1848 began to erupt, the Manifesto has since been recognized as one of the world's most influential political manuscripts.

It presents an analytical approach to the class struggle (historical and present) and the problems of capitalism and the capitalist mode of production, rather than a prediction of Communism's potential future forms. The Communist Manifesto contains Marx and Engels' theories about the nature of society and politics, that in their own words, "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles". It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism, and then finally Communism.

That Hideous Strength: A Deeper Look at How the West was Lost (Expanded Edition)

That Hideous Strength: A Deeper Look at How the West was Lost (Expanded Edition)

Author: Melvin Tinker
Genre: Contemporary
Tags: #106, #106 Topical Discussion, Sistership Mentorship Available
In 2018 EP published the original That Hideous Strength: how the West was lost; the book originated as lecture notes author Melvin Tinker prepared for a conference in Jerusalem that year. That edition deliberately had no footnotes and was as compact as possible to appeal to a wide audience. There have been many requests for a footnoted and expanded edition here it is, a third larger than the original. The first edition as a 'primer' and 'wakeup call' to enable Christians especially to try and understand what has been happening in our Western culture for the last few decades due to the influence of what is identified as 'cultural Marxism' or 'Critical Theory'. Many commented that it helped them make connections not seen before; for others, it was an 'aha moment', with the light suddenly being switched on as to why much of the Judeo-Christian foundations of the West have been eroded while the Church sleeps. As well as unpacking in more detail some of the ideas of cultural Marxists and the way their strategies are being worked out in our society, the author has also sought to put more flesh on what the Church's response might look like by drawing attention to what has been called 'the Benedict Option' and developing the concept proposed by Charles Taylor - the 'social imaginary.' Another significant addition is an outline of the ideas of classical Marxism which places the current concern for cultural Marxism in its proper historical and philosophical context It also serves to underscore that in many ways the new Marxism is a revamping of the old Marxism with consequences no less disastrous. This version includes a Postscript on the rise of 'Black Lives Matter' following the death of George Floyd.

A Failure of Nerve: Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix

A Failure of Nerve: Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix

Author: Edwin Friedman
Tags: #128, #128 Scholé Every Day, #130, #130 Topical Discussion, #140, #140 Topical Discussion, #144, #144 Topical Discussion, #147, #147 Topical Discussion, Brandy Vencel, Sistership Mentorship Available

An invitation and guide for leaders “to cast a courageous and imaginative vision, to lead resiliently, and to be present and steady in times of deep anxiety.”

Ed Friedman’s genius was to see the individual in the family in the larger group, bringing the wisdom of his experience as a therapist and rabbi to the field of organizational leadership.

A timeless bestseller, A Failure of Nerve still astonishes in this new edition with its relevance and continues to transform the lives of leaders everywhere―business, church, family, schools―as it has for more than 20 years:

  • Offers prescient guide to leadership in the age of “quick fix.”
  • Provides ways to recognize and address organizational dysfunction.
  • Emphasizes “strength over pathology” in these anxious times.

“The age that is upon us requires differentiated leadership that is willing to rise above the anxiety of the masses. We need leaders who will have the ‘capacity to understand and deal effectively’ with the hive mind that is us. This is, in Friedman's words, ‘the key to the kingdom.’ I am grateful for this accessible new edition.”
―C. Andrew Doyle, Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Texas

The Golden Key for Life and Leaders: The Idea of Office

The Golden Key for Life and Leaders: The Idea of Office

Author: Kornelis Sietsma
Tags: #136, #136 Topical Discussion, #140, #140 Topical Discussion, #146, #146 Topical Discussion, Sistership Mentorship Available

Unlocking the Secret. Society is adrift, without a rudder. The people are perishing because they lack the vision for life and leadership. Whether in the government, education, on the job, at home and, especially, in the church . . . something has been lost, hasn’t it? But there is hope! It's the right idea of office. The true idea that actually works in the real world for those who are moved to take a firm step of true faith.A pastor-scholar, Dr. Sietsma’s concise and inspiring instruction is not only based in Scripture, it is also tried and tested in the praxis of life’s challenges and hardships. Yes, society has a mess on its hands. So, what the author offers is even more relevant for us in the 21st century. There is a way forward—for those who hold the key. Minister - Martyr “Kees” Sietsma first studied in Kampen, and then went on to earn his doctorate at the Free University of Amsterdam. He and his wife had five children. Then it happened. On the Monday following that sermon on Sunday for his flock in Amsterdam, he was arrested for his faith. He died at the age of 46 in the Dachau concentration camp. Includes foreword by David T. Koyzis, Ph.D. REVIEWS"The Golden Key for Life and Leaders provides erudite guidance to those following a specific ministry calling, or pursuing an academic analysis of Biblical office as a concept. It further succeeds at encouraging individual self-examination of one’s performance in the role of Believer. Sietsma’s brave leadership and obedience to God in his own office are to be recognized and celebrated. Even now, humanity seeks effective crisis leadership as history seems to repeat itself. The Theology of Leadership Journal acknowledges that the traditional church has interpreted God's commission as a call to followership. Kornelis Sietsma, pastor and scholar, wrote his treatise on The Idea of Office at a time that called for greater structure and clarity of expectation for both leaders and followers. In benevolent but unequivocal terms, Sietsma insisted that followers (“Believers”) had an obligation to take ownership for making a clear declaration of faith and living by that declaration, joining with and the local church and adhering to its norms and mores as long as they were Scripturally sound. He taught that leaders in the church must provide full-throated guidance and shepherding for their people, which would in turn influence the people to make wise decisions in their business, social, and political endeavors. Those church leaders should maintain a respectful distance from the other spheres of leadership, focusing on serving God and then on serving man. The relevance and utility of The Golden Key for Life and Leaders in contemporary church leadership development center on its clear message of structure and accountability, duty and responsibility, with grace as the foundation." Angela Spraner, Ph.D Theology of Leadership Journal (Fall 2020)
