Worldly Wisdom and Foolish Grace

Lessons from Abraham's Tent

By: Barbara Carnegie Campbell

Rabbi Jesus interpreted the teachings of Torah to his followers. The Prophet Mohammad received a divine revelation centuries later that returned his people to the faith of Abraham. The holy texts of all three Abrahamic faiths, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, teach compassion, generosity, and nonviolence. While culture and politics often speak one understanding of "wisdom," each of these faith traditions asks very different and difficult behavior of their followers, i.e., loving enemies, showing compassion for all, and giving away wealth to serve the poor; in other words, grace-filled living which the world sees as "foolish." Worldly Wisdom and Foolish Grace reflects on ten of the hardest words spoken in Abraham's tent, places "foolish grace" up against "worldly wisdom," and asks us to choose which road to take.

Knowledge Communities

Bringing the Village Into the Classroom

By: Joette Stefl-Mabry,Barbara L. Lynch

In order to succeed in the 21st century, we will need to do more than just adapt to rapid and frequent change. We need to be vigilant and reflective of the transformations occurring in how we communicate, work, play, and are governed. The establishment of caring school communities, or Knowledge Communities, is vital to the positive intellectual, moral, and social development of our children. The pursuit to build Knowledge Communities is neither as politically appealing as the promise to 'leave no child behind, ' nor is it as seductive as the offerings supplied by the newest technology. The creation of Knowledge Communities will take much more than using a number two pencil to fill out a standardized form, or providing adequate funds for the newest technological advances. Keeping in mind the adage that 'it takes a village to raise a child, ' this book discusses how the local and global village can and should become an active and integral part of the classroom. This work is a valuable tool in advancing the mission of preparing students to intelligently select, sort, evaluate, and synthesize information from a wide variety of sources so that they possess the skills to be knowledgeable learners for lif
