Twelve Great Books that Changed the University
Twelve scholars take us on a journey through twelve books that have defined the methodologies and orthodoxies of key disciplines within the university curriculum. These books have not only been formative for their respective disciplines, but have reshaped the university and continue to reframe our understanding of education. Each chapter places a Great Book in its historical context, summarizes the key ideas, and assesses the influence of the text on its discipline and society as a whole. In addition, each contributor offers an evaluation from a Christian perspective, explaining both the benefits of the book and the challenges it presents to a Christian worldview and philosophy of education.
Where the Clouds Meet the Water
The journey of a German Ecuadorian widower, Ernst Contag, and his four young children from their home in South America to Nazi Germany in 1942. Blacklisted as an enemy alien, Contag and his children were forcibly repatriated to the country of his grandparents' birth as part of a diplomatic exchange arranged by the United States State Department and cooperating countries. Denying their Ecuadorian citizenship, they had to learn to navigate an ever-shifting horizon as they faced internment, separation, hunger, and hopelessness in Germany and France, then hostility when they eventually returned to their Andean homeland.
Mockery in Spanish Golden Age Literature
Mockery in Spanish Golden Age Literature takes a ground-breaking look at seriousness and comicality by investigating burlesque mockery in a variety of 'high' and 'low' style genres produced by major writers like Miguel de Cervantes, Luis de G'ongora, Francisco de Quevedo and Salas Barbadillo during the Spanish Baroque. Examination of the foundations of burlesque mockery in sonnets, romances, theatrical interludes and Don Quixote opens ways of solving problems concerning burlesque laughter. This systematic investigation of burlesque mockery in the Spanish Golden Age addresses certain theoretical and historical issues of evaluation by presenting practical expositions of representative examples of the burlesque mode thereby exposing both burlesque mockery and the controversy that surrounds it.
