  Few Christian thinkers have brought such an array of intellectual, scientific, spiritual, and religious resources to bear on faith and society as Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984). A Jesuit philosopher and theologian, Lonergan worked to integrate faith with the promotion of justice. Taught by one of the world’s leading experts on Lonergan, this 12-lecture course introduces you to the breadth of Lonergan’s thought. You will focus on his method of better knowing yourself through your web of natural, social, and religious “ecologies.” Dr. Gordon Rixon, a professor at the University of Toronto, helps you arrive at abiding truths through personal discovery, critical reflection, and introspection. In the process, you’ll run the gamut of natural, human, and theological sciences, contemplating such topics as: the artwork of Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Käthe Kollwitz; the physiology and spirituality of breathing; the metaphysics of knowledge as explained by St. Thomas Aquinas; the social impact of climate change; the mystery of the Incarnation as defined by the Council of Chalcedon; and the joy of contemporary evangelization as described in Pope Francis’s Evangelii Gaudium.  You’ll walk away with a transformed understanding of Lonergan’s legacy and significance, emboldened by a religious faith that acknowledges scientific inquiry while recognizing the beauty of the beguiling unknown.This course is part of the Learn25 Collection.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Question the ideology of inevitable progress that shapes modern consciousness while disguising its origins, assumptions, and consequences from critical examination. This paradigm-challenging audiobook examines how the belief that humanity constantly improves became the unquestioned religion of modern society despite contradicting evidence and serving particular interests. Learn how progress ideology emerged from specific historical circumstances rather than objective observation, spreading through education and media until alternatives became literally unthinkable. The narrator reveals how progress mythology justifies destruction of traditional cultures, environmental devastation, and acceptance of present suffering as necessary sacrifice for future improvement that never quite arrives. Discover how technological advances create new problems as fast as they solve old ones while progress believers interpret failures as temporary setbacks rather than fundamental flaws. Understand who benefits from widespread faith in progress and why questioning this belief triggers reactions similar to religious heresy throughout history. This audiobook does not argue against improvement but challenges the automatic assumption that change equals advancement and novelty equals superiority. Learn to evaluate changes on actual merits rather than assuming newness indicates betterness. Essential listening for anyone sensing that modern life fails to deliver promised satisfactions despite unprecedented technological capability, and questioning whether the path civilization follows truly leads upward.

Courtney Thorsson explores the group's everyday collaboration and profound legacy. The Sisterhood advocated for Black women writers at trade publishers and magazines. Thorsson traces the personal, professional, and political ties that brought the group together as well as the reasons for its dissolution. She considers the popular and critical success of Sisterhood members in the 1980s, the uneasy absorption of Black feminism into the academy, and how younger writers built on the foundations the group laid. Highlighting the organizing, networking, and community building that nurtured Black women's writing, this book demonstrates that The Sisterhood offers an enduring model for Black feminist collaboration.

  A leading psychological researcher shares compelling science and valuable practices for mindfully using nostalgia to live a more grounded, connected, and purposeful life. 
  When an old song makes you want to dance like you did in high school, or you long for the comforting taste of your mom’s cooking, that’s more than just memory—it’s nostalgia. But is nostalgia all about “living in the past” to hide from reality?  In Past Forward, psychologist Clay Routledge presents a fascinating investigation into an emotion we all experience yet often misunderstand, revealing nostalgia’s extraordinary potential to enrich our present—and our future. 
  Dr. Routledge has been at the forefront of a new wave of research that has established a fresh, evidence-based view of nostalgia—not as a psychological weakness, but as a complex and valuable resource for our well-being. Here he presents a treasury of informed insights and science-based practices to help you turn nostalgia into a powerful ally, including: 
  • Understanding nostalgia—what this feeling is and why it’s necessary for a healthy psyche• Enhancing your sense of self—how nostalgia can help you build confidence and self-esteem• Deepening connection—the possibilities and pitfalls of nostalgia as a foundation for personal and group relationships• Coping with stress—invoking the past to face present-day anxieties with clarity and resilience• Finding purpose—how nostalgic reflection can reveal your most enduring values• Moving into the future—excavating the past as a source for innovation, creativity, and hope 
  If we approach nostalgia with awareness and discernment, we can use our cherished memories to help look outside of ourselves, connect with others, and weave a meaningful life story that supports us through difficult times. As Dr. Routledge puts it, “By engaging in nostalgia, we are not moving toward the past. We are bringing the past forward to the present to help us build a more fulfilling future.”
