Critically examining the Western, secular approach to formal education, the author contests the value of an education system focusing solely on the intellectual and physical aspects of human development. The methodological aim and structure of this approach are compared to those of Islam which Dr. Al Zeera notes gives credence to the importance of spiritual and religious factors, as well as scholarly ones, with the overall objective of forming whole and holy human being who, instead of resisting the paradoxes of life, uses their interrelatedness as a means of personal and societal development. One interesting factor examined within the broader framework of the study is the area of female spirituality, an element, which the author argues, is vastly under-represented in prevalent Islamic literature. This study is a holistic view of knowledge and a sociological discussion adopting an unconventional approach of using the author’s own personal experiences as the basis for debate and analysis. We are invited to enter the world of understanding and observation to experience for ourselves an unusual approach to dialectical thinking.

In this book Paul Contino offers a theological study of Dostoevsky’s final novel, The Brothers Karamazov. He argues that incarnational realism animates the vision of the novel, and the decisions and actions of its hero, Alyosha Fyodorovich Karamazov. The book takes a close look at Alyosha’s mentor, the Elder Zosima, and the way his role as a confessor and his vision of responsibility “to all, for all” develops and influences Alyosha. The remainder of the study, which serves as a kind of reader’s guide to the novel, follows Alyosha as he takes up the mantle of his elder, develops as a “monk in the world,” and, at the end of three days, ascends in his vision of Cana. The study attends also to Alyosha’s brothers and his ministry to them: Mitya’s struggle to become a “new man” and Ivan’s anguished groping toward responsibility. Finally, Contino traces Alyosha’s generative role with the young people he encounters, and his final message of hope.

Children living in poverty have the same God-given potential as children in wealthier communities, but on average they achieve at significantly lower levels. Kids who both live in poverty and read below grade level by third grade are three times as likely not to graduate from high school as students who have never been poor. By the time children in low-income communities are in fourth grade, they're already three grade levels behind their peers in wealthier communities. More than half won't graduate from high school--and many that do graduate only perform at an eighth-grade level. Only one in ten will go on to graduate from college. These students have severely diminished opportunities for personal prosperity and professional success. It is clear that America's public schools do not provide a high quality public education for the sixteen million children growing up in poverty. Education expert Nicole Baker Fulgham explores what Christians can--and should--do to champion urgently needed reform and help improve our public schools. The book provides concrete action steps for working to ensure that all of God's children get the quality public education they deserve. It also features personal narratives from the author and other Christian public school teachers that demonstrate how the achievement gap in public education can be solved.

Exploring Spirituality and Culture in Adult and Higher Education is written from the unique perspective of teacher, researcher, and author Elizabeth Tisdell who has extensive experience dealing with culture, gender, and educational equity issues in secular adult and higher education classrooms, and formerly in pastoral and religious education settings on college campuses. This important book discusses how spiritual development is informed by culture and how this knowledge is relevant to teaching and learning. For educators, an understanding of how spirituality is informed by culture, and how spirituality assists in meaning-making, can aid in their efforts to help their students' educational experiences become more transformative and culturally relevant.

The education system of the Islamic World needs almost a thorough change. It is because the education-contents and machineries are still infested with foreign thoughts and elements. Plagyarism and piracy to confuse the Muslim Ummah have also been getting upper hand in it slowly and cunningly. Also a studied glance over present education centent and system of world as a whole now horribly exhibits that ‘Education’ instead of becoming back-bone of a nation has been assuming the appearance of ‘Death-Penalty’ on Man on the Universe. To get rid of this, the entire Muslim-world has recently awaken from slumber and till now it has held “Three World Confernces on Muslim Education” in Makka, Islamabad and Dhaka in the years 1977, 1978 and 1981 respectively. The present work has been designed to publish some critical articles with a view to help the educationists and the scholars discriminate the thoughts and findings of these conferences along with some rarequality of essays and writings of the reputed thinkers published in different monthlies, weeklies and periodicals time to time.The aim is, in other words, to help promote and achieve the unity of thoughts and actions among the Islamic Scholars, Researchers and Educationists of the globe in attaining reality and spirit in reformation-work in the field of Islamic education and research. However, it is sure that the Third World Conference of Muslim Education would have a profound bearing upon the on-going system of education in Muslim countries provided its recommendations especially on Curriculum get fair play and sincere opportunity for implementation by the unhypocritic Muslim Governments having profound faith in Almighty Allah’s grace, help and bliss. Also it is fairly believed that the book will surely add some new dimensions to the scholars and educationists’ thought for exploring more substantial Islamic visions and values to be instituted to the practical field of Islamic education and research with more accuracy, skill and objectivity. Specially three articles (excluding the rest eight articles written by me, the author) on “Muslim Women’s Education,” “Co-education movement, An interview report by the author and The growth and flourishment of the present reformation in Muslim world’s Education” have been included to make the judicious readers and reformers think and do what changes are to be brought to the existing world-education for better future of the progeny. Lastly, I am much grateful to the scholars whose findings and recommendations have immensely enriched the contents of the work and also to the publisher for extending help to the book carefully and nicely see the light of the universe, and for all these helps and cordiality, I ask to Allah for granting all of their toil and efforts graciously rewarding here and the world next. Ameen.
