The Way of Heaven and Earth - From Either Or to the Catholic Both And

Matthew Becklo

Sinopse

A crisis of polarization more and more threatens the future of civilization. Whether it’s philosophy, theology, politics, or culture, we find ourselves falling into stark either/or dilemmas: Religion or science? Conservative or liberal? Faith or works? We can’t help but choose one idea at the expense of the other, falling into zero-sum games, mutual extremes, and the endless division of human life.   In The Way of Heaven and Earth, Matthew Becklo offers a way of interpreting this crisis: Christ and “the Catholic both/and.” Framing our greatest dilemmas as “heaven-earth dilemmas”—choices between God or man, God’s place or man’s place, the spiritual or the physical, or the spirit or the flesh—Becklo shows that our greatest hope for overcoming our divisions is in Christ, who is “the Way of heaven and earth,” and the Catholic Church, which is the fullness of the Way.   With the help of Scripture, Catholic teaching, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and various philosophers, theologians, and artists, The Way of Heaven and Earth finds new hope in this forgotten Way, which calls us into the paradoxes of the human journey.

The Shocking Truth about Modern...

Zoey Fraisers

Education is often considered the most important tool for personal success and societal progress, promising to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of life. It is believed to be the key to opportunity, growth, and empowerment. Yet, when we take a closer look at the state of modern education, we find a different reality—a system that is increasingly failing to meet the needs of today’s learners and society as a whole. Behind the promise of a well-rounded, enriching education lies a structure that often stifles creativity, disregards individuality, and fails to prepare students for the rapidly changing world around them.
At its core, the modern education system is built on an outdated framework that prioritizes uniformity and standardization over adaptability and critical thinking. The methods used to educate students today were designed in the industrial era, when the focus was on producing workers for factories rather than nurturing creative thinkers, innovators, and problem-solvers. While the world has evolved in countless ways since then—especially with the rise of technology and globalization—the classroom has remained largely unchanged. The result is a system that no longer serves the needs of diverse learners and, in many cases, actively hinders their potential.
This book aims to explore the hidden truths about modern education, shedding light on the deep-rooted issues that have long been overlooked or ignored. From the rise of standardized testing to the growing influence of corporate interests, we will examine how these forces have reshaped education into something that prioritizes compliance and efficiency over genuine learning and personal growth.

Everyday Jews - Why The Jewish...

Keith Kahn-Harris

Can Jews be allowed to become boring?


With Israel and antisemitism constantly in the news, it seems as though the Jewish people - a fraction of a percentage of the world's population - have become synonymous with controversy, drama and anxiety. But what if there was another side to this persistently interesting people; one that non-Jews often don't know about and Jews rarely talk about? This is the stuff of 'everyday' Jewishness; the capacity to be ordinary, mundane and sometimes just plain dull.


Keith Kahn-Harris lifts the lid on this surprising world in a book for Jews and non-Jews alike. Arguing that his people's extraordinary public visibility today is harming their ability to live everyday Jewish lives, he celebrates the mundanity and mediocrity of a people before it vanishes completely.

Arawak Empire - The Seafarers...

Rolf Hedger

The Arawak people trace their origins to the vast and resource-rich region of the Orinoco River basin in present-day Venezuela. As part of the larger Arawakan language family, they were one of the many groups that gradually expanded across South America and into the Caribbean. Their migration was driven by a combination of environmental factors, population growth, and the search for fertile land and abundant resources. Over generations, they navigated rivers, coastlines, and open waters, eventually settling in the islands of the Greater and Lesser Antilles, where they established thriving communities.
Archaeological evidence suggests that the Arawak migration into the Caribbean began around 2000 BCE, with the earliest settlements appearing in the Guianas and Trinidad before spreading to islands such as Hispaniola, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. The seafaring skills of the Arawak were instrumental in their expansion, allowing them to cross large distances using well-crafted dugout canoes. These vessels, some of which could carry dozens of people, enabled them to transport goods, establish trade networks, and maintain cultural connections between islands.
The Arawak developed a rich cultural identity deeply connected to their environment. They were skilled agriculturalists, cultivating staple crops such as cassava, maize, sweet potatoes, and fruits like guava and pineapple. Their farming methods, including slash-and-burn techniques and mound cultivation, allowed them to sustain large populations and support the growth of permanent villages. In addition to agriculture, they engaged in fishing and hunting, making use of the diverse ecosystems found throughout the Caribbean.
