In 2019 America has been brought to the brink of collapse, not by foreign armiesor extraterrestrial invasion, but by free market capitalism. A small cabal of the most powerful titans of finance rule over the nation with an iron grip and its citizens are free in name only. They rule America like ancient god-kings. But not for long. A new and seemingly unstoppable group has emerged and they are hunting billionaires. Who are they? Where did they get their fantastic technology? Are they aliens? Time travelers? Or are they something far stranger? Who are the Children of Sisyphus?

Since the publication of its predecessor volume Contemporary Catholic Education in 2002, the Catholic education landscape has experienced significant developments and challenges. The notion that the perennial, in the form of the rich heritage of the Catholic education tradition, must remain in constant dialogue with the transitional educational landscape permeates this publication. This is rooted in a sacramental vision of the human person and is anchored in three core principles: the dignity of the individual, the call to human flourishing and the promise of a divine destiny. The extent to which Catholic school teachers, leaders and governors embrace the challenge to embed these core principles, while acknowledging a range of factors challenging the holistic perspective canonised in Catholic tradition, features prominently in this volume. The structuring of Contemporary Perspectives on Catholic Education around three themes, context, Religious Education and leadership and governance is designed strategically to enable the authors to address contemporary challenges, principal among which is the maintenance of the integral mission of Catholic education. In these contexts the value of the witness of Catholic teachers, leaders and governors is accentuated and, in the words of Pope Francis, 'teaching ultimately has to be reflected in the teacher's way of life, which awakens the assent of the heart by its nearness, love and witness'.
