Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns: An Educational Problem for Protestants," E. A. Sutherland presents a compelling examination of the intersection between education and faith within the Protestant tradition. Through a mix of historical analysis and practical critique, Sutherland articulates the prevailing challenges in Protestant education during the early twentieth century, arguing for a holistic approach that integrates spiritual growth and academic rigor. His literary style is both engaging and didactic, characterized by a passionate tone that seeks to inspire reform in both individual and institutional practices within Protestantism. E. A. Sutherland was an influential educator and theologian whose life-long commitment to reforming educational practices was shaped by his experiences in the early American educational landscape. His background in both teaching and curriculum development provided him with a unique perspective on the failings of contemporary educational systems, prompting him to advocate for a model that nurtures not only intellectual but also spiritual development in students. Sutherland's profound faith and dedication to the principles of Protestant education ultimately fueled the urgency of his message. This book is a critical resource for educators, theologians, and anyone invested in understanding the historical tensions between faith and education. Sutherland's insights remain relevant today, making it a vital read for those committed to fostering meaningful spiritual and academic environments.

Illinois 1000

Henry Isham

Illinois 1000 is a quick dive into the lives of the English and the Indians of the Upper Midwest a thousand years ago.
 
Building on The Year 1000 by British historians Robert Lacey and Danny Danzinger, the author 
moves from one side of the Atlantic to the other. The contrasts are as much from the past to the present as between the two very different cultures. ‘Primitive’ is often used to describe the Indians’ way of life, and not without at least some reason. So much of what characterized and made English life possible was entirely absent in North America.
 
Yet, centuries later, hundreds, even thousands of Europeans joined the Indians, preferring their way of living to that which they had known in Europe or colonial America. The Indians, the first people, survived and prospered in what was at that time not amber fields of grain but a very 
ungenerous landscape. If they were brutal, they were hardly unique. In their affinity to the earth they lived on, there were few like them.
