This work goes beyond the basics of classroom management to
consider the path of both teacher and student toward authentic
intellectual maturity and spiritual growth. It provides a framework
for stripping away the external and personal pressures that bleed
intellectual content out of classroom teaching so that teachers
may, in fact, experience their vocation as sublime. Written in the
novelistic first-person narrative, it is a seasoned teacher's story
of his initiation from graduate student at the University of
Chicago to ninth-grade teacher in a Catholic high school where he
manned the battle lines in provincial, petty, sometime even violent
world of American secondary school. It is also the story of how a
certain Brother Blake, a 67-year-old practitioner of the pedagogy
of the sublime, passed on his vision of classroom teaching as a
sublime vocation. A major contribution to the field by the
acclaimed author of The Ignorant Perfection of Ordinary People.
