Clements dares to say we are living in a "post-mindfulness" era. What he means is that we all need to move into a post-hierarchical time where "nirvana" is not static and the mindful mind - observing one's self - is not mistaken for "dharma intelligence." Clements passionately challenges us to step out of the confines of set traditions, authority and religion.

His intellectual formation in both Greek philosophy and Christian faith positioned him as a central figure in the development of Christian theology and biblical exegesis during the late second century. Clement was not only a theologian but also an educator and an advocate for the integration of philosophical wisdom with Christian doctrine, whic...

Most statements today about higher education begin with the assumption that it should be relevant. That it should be relevant, however, does not settle the matter. The significance of relevance depends on the power of something else that is more fundamental. Relevance may be a true standard of judgment, but it does not stand by itself. Assuming higher education should be relevant, the question emerges, relevant to what? Why? How? At what costs? And, relevant in what sense? These are some o...
