Paperback. Zustand: Good. Catholic schools have long contributed to the mission of the Church and to the flourishing of society. During the past few decades, however, Catholic schools have suffered severe losses, both in their religious identity and in their capacity to attract students. With penetrating insights, pointed anecdotes, and drawing upon recent empirical studies and Church documents, Ryan Topping describes the near collapse of Catholic education in North America and uncovers the enduring principles of authentic renewal. In The Case for Catholic Education you'll discover: - the three purposes of Catholic education - why virtue is more important than self-esteem - the elements of a true common core curriculum - essential differences between progressive and Catholic models of learning - helpful study questions and a research guide This is an accessible and eminently readable book on a topic which no Catholic can afford to ignore.--Joseph Pearce, Aquinas College, Nashville, TN The Case for Catholic Education speaks to the heart of the debate over whether Catholic education is 'worth it.'--Sister John Mary Fleming, O.P., Executive Director for Catholic Education, USCCB The Case for Catholic Education will surely play a vital role in reinvigorating the handing-on of essential Catholic truths.--Sister Joseph Andrew Bogdanowicz, O.P., Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, Ann Arbor, MI This short book contains an astonishing wealth of insights and practical suggestions.--Dr. Keith Cassidy, President of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy, Barry's Bay, ON, Canada Ryan Topping has written an engaging and coherent analysis of the state of Catholic education in North America, which will be useful for teachers in Britain, too.--Dr. Paul Shrimpton, Magdalen College School, Oxford, UK An insightful view of our threatened patrimony and a framed vision for what educating and forming our children may still yet become.--Dr. Jason Fugikawa, Dean of Academics and Faculty, Holy Family Academy, Manchester, NH The Case for Catholic Education includes sound advice in regards to the teaching of Good Books and then Great Books in the high school years, and for including Christ throughout an education.--Patrick S.J.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Rarely does a book come along that so succinctly explains the decline of modern culture, articulates a defense of the Church's teachings, and offers a hope-filled path for building a civilization grounded in Catholic truth. In these pages, Dr. Ryan Topping does all three, pulling back the curtain on the false philosophies of the secularists and showing that in the West today the most formidable threat to freedom is not failing economies or Islam, but secularism. Our best defense, he claims, is a vibrant Catholic culture, and our best hope for creating it lies in the principles found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This book takes you on a masterful journey through the relevant portions of the Catechism, distilling sophisticated theological concepts into words that are simple, clear, and direct, while unpacking its core teachings on faith and morals that nurture true civilizations. In Rebuilding Catholic Culture, you'll also discover sensible ways to begin restoring Catholic culture right now in your own life and family, and in our larger communities as well: in the theater, the classroom, in our hospitals, and even in the public square. This profoundly accessible book will renew your confidence in the world-transforming character of our Creed and in the potency of our Faith to shape and redefine the culture of the West. …
