""Primarily working with individuals, relationships, and whole communities, Christian ministers working in congregations and with non-profits seek to discern what it is that God has been doing and where it is that the “Spirit” might be leading them. These are struggles with a world that is less than ideal, struggles with discerning what to do in difficult situations, and struggles with knowing what it is that God is inviting us towards. As spiritual formators, it is struggles such as these that we need help and guidance with.
Looking to some of the literature, there are numerous resources that are available on the work and dynamics of Christian spiritual formation. There are texts that address what spiritual formation means when working with individuals. There are books that offer insights into helping relationships from a spiritual perspective. And there are resources geared towards helping whole communities as a spiritually forming endeavor. Resources such as these can provide us with some of the necessary insights into the nature and practice of spiritual formation at these three levels: individuals, relationships, and communities.
However, most of these resources do not lead the reader through a specific process of developing spiritual formation programs or sets of interventions from conception, through discerning which approaches to use, and finally to assessment and evaluation. For instance, what kinds of activities and supports, such as counseling, might someone suggest that a troubled couple seek to engage? How will they know if such suggestions are really working or not? And how can they continually improve upon these approaches as time goes on so that this relationship may continue to improve? While some resources do exist in other fields to help their practitioners to address questions such as these, as are found in education and organizational development, no resources appear to currently exist for the field of Christian spiritual formation.
This book therefore seeks to address this need. Those wrestling with Christian spiritual formation questions can benefit from resources that will help them to better understand the nature and dynamics of a situation, discern specific formative interventions, and to continually assess and modify these understandings and approaches. Can a pastor benefit from a set of processes that will help her or him to discern where it is that the Spirit is seeking to lead her or his community? Are there steps that a pastoral counselor can follow as they seek to help a wife work with the new relationship that she and her husband now have? Are there really methods that a retreat leader can use to help her or him to develop their contemplative spirituality program? It is the assertion of this book that “yes, such methodological foundations do exist,” and “yes, situations such as these might benefit from their usage.” It is therefore the purpose of this book to detail these methods from program or intervention conception through to assessment and evaluation.

This paper draws on Jean-Luc Marion’s notion of non-objective phenomena to discuss the difficulty of studying leadership. Marion conceptualises non-objective phenomena as phenomena that cannot be captured by scientific methods. Attempts to do so result in a poor understanding of the phenomenon as it gives itself. Put differently: non-objective phenomena remain invisible to the gaze of the researcher. The paper shows how leadership scholars are indecisive about the question of whether leadership is to be understood as an objective or as a non-objective phenomenon. Or more precisely they tend to understand leadership as a non-objective phenomenon, but study leadership as if it were objective. This mismatch, the paper suggests, explains why leadership studies tends to oscillate between objectivist science and (pseudo) religious image making and why it struggles to find a foothold in either sphere. In light of this problem, the paper suggests ‘leadership image studies’ as a possible way forward.

"This volume publishes for the first time an untitled anti-Hasidic manuscript, which the editors have called Reshit Hokhmah (The Origin/Beginning of Wisdom), from the Joseph Perl Archive in Tarnopol. The manuscript was copied in 1819, the year that Perl’s Megale Temirin was published. It is housed today in the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem. The identity of the author is unknown, but he probably came from Galicia and was associated with Mitnagdim and Maskilim. The book expresses harsh and detailed criticism of the hagiographic work, Shivhei ha-Besht (In Praise of the Baal Shem Tov, Kapost 1815), which is the first extensive engagement with this book. Moreover, the work is erudite and anticipates the views of Isaac Baer Levinson in his work Te‘udah be-Yisrael (A Warning to Israel, Vilna and Grodno 1828). The manuscript was read by many Maskilim in Galicia and it seems to have influenced both Joseph Perl and Isaac Baer Levinson. This work is therefore of great importance as an example of anti-Hasidic literature, which influenced nineteenth-century Haskalah literature. A transcription of the manuscript is presented in this volume, accompanied by explanatory notes, references to literature that influenced the author, references to anti-Hasidic literature, and an introduction that describes the character of the work and its reception.

There is scant research literature on the interconnection between spirituality and the practices of faculty of color teaching social justice in the higher education classroom. This paper is based on a qualitative study that examined 15 spiritually minded activist scholars (who are all racially minoritized) in Canadian universities. The analysis focuses on how such scholars integrate spirituality into their teaching practices. This paper presents three themes: (a) responding to students in the classroom, (b) centering spirituality in the curriculum, and (c) the perils of incorporating a spiritually based pedagogy.
