The thirty-five offerings are conveniently organized by theme and include an introduction, suggested further readings, and a short glossary of key terms for each section. The selections here are from a veritalbe "Who's Who" of educators and writers (including John W. O'Malley, SJ; Howard Gray, SJ; Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, SJ; and Parker J. Palmer). The entries will enlighten and inspire anyone involved in Jesuit education--faculty, administrators, staff, and trustees. Together, these valuable and often hard-to-find articles bear witness to the strength and vitality of Jesuit education in the past and present, while looking ahead to the vast potential this form of education holds for the future. -- Provided by publisher.
