“I consider Otto Rank to be one of the great spiritual giants of the twentieth century, a genius as a psychologist and a saint as a human being. Though vilified by his original community of Freudians, he never became bitter. He died a feminist and deeply committed to social justice, in 1939....His deep understanding of creativity makes him a mentor for all of us living in a postmodern world....I believe that Art and Artist, especially chapters 12 to 14, may well emerge as the most valuable psychoanalysis of the spiritual life in our time.” WorldBelieveHumansWellsMayArtSpiritualArtistI BelieveSocialUnderstandingCommunityJusticeHuman BeingsCreativityCenturyGeniusDiedOriginalsSocial JusticeSaintCommittedFeministValuableBitterOur TimeGiantsSpiritual LifeChaptersMentorTwentieth CenturyPsychologistPsychoanalysisPostmodernGreat SpiritualDeep Understanding Author:Matthew Fox

“To punish a man because he has committed a crime, or because he is believed, though unjustly, to have committed a crime, is not persecution. To punish a man, because we infer from the nature of some doctrine which he holds, or from the conduct of other persons who hold the same doctrines with him, that he will commit a crime, is persecution, and is, in every case, foolish and wicked.” MenPersonsJusticeCasesAtheismCrimeDiversitySocial JusticeCommittedPositive AtheismFoolishCommitDoctrineWickedPersecution Author:Thomas B.

“A church must be more deeply and practically committed to deeds of compassion and social justice than traditional liberal churches and more deeply and practically committed to evangelism and conversion than traditional fundamentalist churches. This kind of church is profoundly counter-intuitive to American observers. It breaks their ability to categorize (and dismiss) it as liberal or conservative. Only this kind of church has any chance in the non-Christian west.” KindChristianSocialChurchJusticeChanceAbilityCompassionBreakSocial JusticeWestConservativeCommittedDeedsConversionTraditionalObserversIntuitiveEvangelismFundamentalist Author:Timothy Keller
“Pedagogy of the Oppressed resonated with progressive educators, already committed to a 'child-centered' rather than a 'teacher-directed' approach to classroom instruction. Freire's rejection of teaching content knowledge seemed to buttress what was already the ed schools' most popular theory of learning, which argued that students should work collaboratively in constructing their own knowledge and that the teacher should be a 'guide on the side,' not a 'sage on the stage.'” ShouldChildrenSchoolSidesJusticeEducationTeacherTeachingStageStudentsTheoryApproachSocial JusticeCommittedGuidesRejectionProgressiveInstructionClassroomOppressedSageEducatorPedagogyPedagogy Of The Oppressed Author:Sol Stern
