This is an accessible response to the contemporary anti-God
arguments of the 'new atheists' (Dawkins, Dennett, Harris,
Hitchens, Grayling, etc). Atheism has become militant in the past
few years, with its own popular mass media evangelists such as
Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett. In this readable book,
Christian philosopher Peter S. Williams considers the arguments of
the 'new atheists' and finds them wanting. Williams explains the
history of atheism and responds to the claims that: 'belief in God
causes more harm than good'; 'religion is about blind faith and
science is the only way to know things'; 'science can explain
religion away'; 'there is not enough evidence for God'; 'the
arguments for God's existence do not work'. Williams argues that
belief in God is more intellectually plausible than atheism.

Beyond the Schoolhouse introduces eight paradigm shifts that are
urgently needed to challenge inequities in education and improve
the conditions for historically marginalized school children. The
book provides educators and scholars with actionable strategies to
shift the paradigm from schools alone to engaged partnerships with
families and communities. Too many educators enter the profession
with an incompatible paradigm, one that asks educators to resolve
the problems facing school children from behind the closed doors of
the school. The book offers a new paradigm, one that opens the
power of partnerships to improve the conditions for school children
from within and beyond the walls of the schoolhouse. Drawing
thoughtfully on leadership theory, current research, and
evidence-based practice, the author engages practitioners and
scholars in a spirited and candid conversation about why
partnerships with families and communities are needed in this era
of rapid cultural change and soaring inequalities. The book
features scenarios from the field along with lessons learned on the
pitfalls and possibilities embedded in the paradigm shifts. The
scenarios reveal how the partners leveraged their power to disrupt
historical patterns of racism, classism, and nativism. The book
offers a compelling analysis of the power of school, family, and
community partners to embrace dramatically different paradigms for
schooling. With anecdotes and illustrations, the author invites
readers to consider their role in engaging in meaningful
partnerships that reflect the community's best hopes for the
education of their children. Her narratives offer a deeply rooted
understanding of the possibilities and pitfalls of school, family,
and community partnerships in a diversity of settings, including
urban, rural, and tribal schools and systems in the U.S. and
abroad. The chapters build hope and a realistic optimism that
engaged partners can leverage their talents and resources and work
together to bring best practices to scale for the benefit of
children of diverse identities, cultures, and ethnicities. Chapters
contain strategies and tools to tackle the growing inequalities
which keep far too many children on the margins of schooling and
furthest from justice and equity. Strategies include equity-focused
protocols, structured questions for dialogue in virtual and
face-to-face settings, and resources for extended reflection. The
book may be useful for scholars in academic circles, principal and
teacher preparation providers, novice and experienced educators and
administrators, and the allies, school board members, and elected
officials who are invested in enriching the education and
well-being of school children and the families and communities they
serve.
