Jaeger weaves elements of history, anthropology, philosophy, and psychology with masterful dexterity. I've read a number of general texts on Ancient Greek culture. There are some quite good ones out there. H.D.F. Kitto's, The Greeks, is another favorite of mine. Nevertheless, Jaeger's work stands well above the others. ...             Literacy and Paideia in Ancient Greece1 review Kevin Robb Oxford University Press, USA, 1994 Genius This author is one of the smartest people I have ever come into contact with. For insight into ancient Greek culture look no further than Professor Robb.             Acts (Paideia: Commentaries on the New Testament)1 review Mikeal C. Parsons Baker Academic, 2008 Parsons demonstrates high reputability in much-reputed series I marveled through Dr. Talbert's treatment of Ephesians (and read Colossians only because I was so impressed by the former), the first volume in this new series from Baker Publications. Dr. Talbert has previously demonstrated his ability to say so much more (and so more easily) than so many others, and I could only figure Dr. Parsons' reputation as a fine interpreter of Acts to be a remarkable ...             Journey through the night4 reviews Anne de Vries Paideia Press, 1978 Absolutely BEST Children's Series on WWII Dutch Occupation I cannot begin to express my love of this 4-book series. I read it when I was in grade school and have tried to reread the series at least once every few years. However, as I do not own the series, I must interlibrary loan it or borrow it from people who do own it. [This review can also double as a plea to the publisher to republish the series.] This series was originally written in Dutch ...             Coming of the Kingdom4 reviews Herman N Ridderbos Paideia P, Canada, 1979 Simply the best Herman Ridderbos does in biblical theology what Cornelius Van Til does in apologetics: he takes the New Testament self-revelation of God as a given and defends it against all (mainly European) comers in a thorough and scholarly (in the best sense of that word) manner. In fact, he says in the Introduction that the fierce controversy over the kingdom of heaven in the past hundred years is ...             The Inevitable Domination by Man: An Evolutionary Detective Story1 review Seymour W. Itzkoff Paideia Press, 2000 Highly Interesting This is an excellent book for anyone interested in the origin of man. However, you must approach the book with an open mind, as the author does not promote the "out of Africa" religion that currently dominates the field. This book is a good update to Carletoon Coon's excellent books.             Filosofias de la educacion: Paideia (Coleccion Educacion y ensenanza)1 review Octavio Fullat Genis Ediciones CEAC, 1992 Great Book This book helped me to clarify many important concepts of education. Fullat has a fluid way of explaining philosophy and you would actually keep reading his books.             Boris1 review Jaap ter Haar Paideia Press, 1981 Children in war-torn Russia learn the enemy can be a friend Boris, and his friend Nadia, are living through the WWII German seige of Leningrad,and Boris' father has died in the heroic effort to bring food into the city.

The children make a desperate attempt to find potatoes rumored to be in no man's ...             A Little Book of Parenting Skills1 review Mark Brady Paideia Press, 2006 Wow!! Little but mighty!! At first I felt like I did everything wrong but this job of parenting is an ongoing process and we can undo the wrong!!.I liked the fact that it is a "little book",an easy read,and handy to keep with me so I can review. A little jewel!!             Early Christianity and Greek paideia2 reviews Werner Wilhelm Jaeger Oxford University Press, 1969 Not just for the patrology student This book is an invaluable guide for the student of patrology, especially those with an interest in the Cappadocians. Jaeger demonstrates with ease and readability the influences between Hellenism and Christianity, and how Christianity strove to preserve what was good in the classical world, how it transformed the classical worldview and breathed new life into a decaying culture. Coupled by ...             Story Bible for Young Children1 review Anne DeVries Paideia P, Canada, 1979 Excellent children's Bible story book This is one of the very best children's Bible story books I have ever seen or used. It uses easy to understand language but it does not "talk down" to children. It is true to the Biblical account but uses a story-telling method that captivates the attention. Often it forces readers to think of the story from a different perspective. The people in the story are real and vibrant both through ...             Paideia Program5 reviews Mortimer J. Adler Touchstone, 1984 A balanced and ideal structure for learning Mortimer Adler spells out an ideal balance of learning experiences which result in highly literate and competent students. The Paideia proposal is not a recipe for what content to teach but a structure for making sure the student is not trapped in a school with only one way of processing thought. Didactic, or direct, instruction should not take up more than a fifth of the time; at least a ...             SCOUT - The Secret of the Swamp5 reviews Piet Prins Paideia Press, 1979 A great story! This is the first and best of the "Scout" series, the books by Piet Prins that tell the story of the courageous German Shepherd and the boys he leads. This book introduces Scout during the eve of World War II in Holland, explains how he was trained, and demonstrates his loyalty toward his master. Although encompassing a series of adventures, the book maintains a common theme about life in ...             The Power of Paideia Schools: Defining Lives Through Learning1 review Association for Supervision & Curriculum Deve, 1998 Paedeia the Practical Way In this collection of essays by practitioners, Editor Terry Roberts of the National Paideia Center puts in plain language how the ideas in Mortimer Adler's 1982 classic "The Paideia Proposal" can be put to work in America's schools. Roberts himself reviews the theoretical underpinnings of Paedeia, which proposes a common curriculum for all students steeped in classical works of art, music, ...             A Little Book of Listening Skills: A Collection of Essential Practices For Conveying Genuine Love and Respect1 review Mark Brady Ph.D., Jennifer Austin Leigh Psy.D. Paideia Press, 2005 A little gem This is a precious little book that is filled with simple, direct and thought provoking ideas for how to learn to listen better. Having utilized several of them and contemplated many others, I can state confidently that you will be changed by this book as much as you open yourself to the possibility. Everyone can learn to listen more effectively and objectively and this book is a great tool to ...             Acts and the Ancient Reader: Genre, Paideia, and the Reading of Luke's Acts Loveday Alexander Westminster John Knox Pr, 2009              search for books ancient, children, christianity, coleccion, collection, commentaries, conveying, culture, defining, detective, domination, educacion, ensenanza, essential, evolutionary, filosofias, genuine, inevitable, kingdom, learning, listening, literacy, paideia, parenting, practices, program, reading, schools, testament, through books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
