Selected Reading List for Catholic K-12 Schools by Denise Donohue, Ed.D., and Dan Guernsey, Ed.D Selected Reading List for Catholic K-12 Schools by Denise Donohue, Ed.D., and Dan Guernsey, Ed.D. Updated February 27, 2019 The following reading list is offered for use with The Cardinal Newman Society’s Literature, Library, and Media Guide for Catholic Educators. The authors assembled this list based on their experience as educators and Catholic school administrators, and by consulting sources including schools recognized by The Cardinal Newman Society’s Catholic Education Honor Roll for their commitment to strong Catholic identity. The list suggests options for Catholic educators, but it is not exhaustive of all possible literature that might be suitable for Catholic education. Many factors must be considered when deciding which particular works should be included in a curriculum. This list may be adopted in whole or in part by educators. All Newman Society resources are available for free online at NewmanSociety.org.

  • Landscapes of Korean and Korean American Biblical Interpretation
    BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION AMERICAN AND KOREAN LANDSCAPES OF KOREAN International Voices in Biblical Studies In this first of its kind collection of Korean and Korean American Landscapes of Korean biblical interpretation, essays by established and emerging scholars reflect a range of historical, textual, feminist, sociological, theological, and postcolonial readings. Contributors draw upon ancient contexts and Korean American and even recent events in South Korea to shed light on familiar passages such as King Manasseh read through the Sewol Ferry Tragedy, David and Bathsheba’s narrative as the backdrop to the prohibition against Biblical Interpretation adultery, rereading the virtuous women in Proverbs 31:10–31 through a Korean woman’s experience, visualizing the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and demarcations in Galatians, and introducing the extrabiblical story of Eve and Norea, her daughter, through story (re)telling. This volume of essays introduces Korean and Korean American biblical interpretation to scholars and students interested in both traditional and contemporary contextual interpretations.

  • HERE, MY SON Rudyard Kipling and the Battle of Loos
    THIS IS THE CHAPEL: HERE, MY SON Rudyard Kipling and the Battle of Loos Dedicated to the Memory of Patrick Neafsy of Achadh Mór, Private 6534, 2nd Battalion Irish Guards, killed in action, 27 September 1915 Edward Neafcy, October 2008 After 93 years, my brother David has brought home to Mayo the story of Patrick Neafsy and his short life as a British soldier. He was in the 2nd Irish Guards. The Battle of Loos was fought from the 25 September to the 8 October, 1915. It was the biggest battle in British history up to then. Today if people know of it at all, it is generally because Rudyard Kipling’s son John was lost there. He was an officer in the Irish Guards. Patrick and John Kipling died in the same action. Patrick and John were among 32 Irish Guards who died on 27 September 1915 on a flat Flanders field exposed to German artillery, machine gun and rifle fire. Such was the slaughter that the Germans called it the Leichenfeld (Corpses Field) von Loos. Despite Remembrance Day having been so well observed in my lifetime, I had not been motivated to think too much about the Great War with its apparent senselessness. David’s and my trip to Loos made me wonder about the motivations of lads such as Patrick who responded to Kitchener’s ‘Your Country Needs You’ recruitment campaign, and the motivation of such a man as 1 Kipling deliversRudyard a recrui Kipting ling to support the war.

No titles are required for reading and no child will be expected to read from the list. Books listed are chosen from a variety of sources. They include a wide variety of interests and a range of reading levels. Enjoy your summer! IDEAS FOR MAKING YOUR CHILD A LIFE-LONG LOVER OF BOOKS Picking up a book and reading for pleasure makes our minds grow. But some kids struggle with reading and for parents this can be very frustrating. Here are some things to keep in mind on ways to turn a young reader's reluctance into enthusiasm: • Encourage your child to read for fun, let them read books they enjoy. Forcing a child to read books that are either not interesting or too difficult will only discourage them from reading. Use their interests and hobbies as starting points. • Don’t rule out magazines! The short, content-based articles are often written at an easy reading level and will spark their interest in a variety of topics. Most bookstore chains have a huge selection of magazines to appeal to almost every interest. • Read aloud to children of all ages. There is no age cutoff for reading aloud. The pleasure of listening to you read, rather than struggling alone, may restore your child's initial enthusiasm for books and reading.

  • Mountain Landscape and the Aesthetics of the Sublime in Romantic Narration Paola Giacomoni
    Mountain landscape and the aesthetics of the sublime in Romantic narration Paola Giacomoni Any man who observes nature is always inclined to question its precise order. Te analogies and regularities of natural phenomena have ofen suggested a predetermined design, a benign creator, a sublime artist: thus nature appears to be his masterpiece. Te persuasive quality of the so-called physical-theological proof of the existence of God is well known, a theory that perceives the creator’s perfection in the incredible and spectacular workings of the cosmos. Te knowledge gained from the examination of the order and harmony of the universe suggests an aesthetic dimension which, born from the thrill of wonder and amazement, rises to beauty or to the sublime. But even the most convinced supporters of natural theology, which was a particularly popular theory in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, used for justifying and singing the praises of the cosmos, cannot fail to see certain incongruities or irregularities, not obvious enough to cause doubt in the unity of nature, but certainly enough to render its reconstruction more complicated. As far as the origins of the universe are concerned, not everything appears to be ascribable to a perfect and conclusive order, to a harmonious and totally regulated cosmos, especially since, in this era, it is understood that nature possesses a history of its own, and it can be viewed as transformation. One of the most difcult issues which comes to the fore in the »earth sciences« is the »unevenness« of the earth’s crust which is visibly recognisable in mountain landscapes.
