Inhaltsangabe

'Spiritual Discourse in the Academy' focuses on the value of spirituality as a subjugated knowledge from globalized contexts. The book's central tenet is that spirituality is the core of one's intellectual growth and that its inclusion in education acknowledges the sum total of who we are. It not only offers strategies for transformative education, but also embraces global diversity and inclusive education for the twenty-first century. The book also provides a detailed examination of spirituality from a global context, acknowledges the detrimental legacies of colonialism on indigenous spirituality, knowledge systems, traditional justice systems, and on indigenous peoples. 'Spiritual Discourse in the Academy' reaches out to educators, scholars, and students who are interested in the multiple roles of spirituality in schooling and society at large. It can be used for teaching courses in spirituality, education, religious studies, and cultural studies.

Críticas:

"It is a truism that the strength and depth of human existence rests on the individual and the collective acceptability of our spiritual being. This book has magnificently explored ... the high destiny which has been bestowed on every human being ... This book is highly recommended to everyone that seeks to tap into the existential spiritual well-being that invariably gives you the `feel-good factor.'"
