I consider myself an exiled student of the Humanities. After teaching High School English in public education for 10 years, this is what I learned:

1. There are many significant Primary texts of Antiquity to which we were never exposed in public education.

2. Up until the modern age, the Bible was/is a significant thread running through the entire western canon. Failing to recognize its role within the writers or as a lens by which we read everything else is like taking the mind and the spinal cord out of a human body. It falls limp, loses its meaning and functionality.

3. It is the Christian Faith that has bequeathed to us the Intellectual Tradition of the West.

4. We largely remain oblivious to it, and a Church with no mind about it — is unable to lead.

5. In many ways, we are like the meandering stream at the bottom of the valley with a view from no where.

In addition to catapulting the silent revolution of Classical education into the mainstream, the purpose here is to provide a venue in which I can/process and interact with The Great Conversation across the centuries, and to hold ideas accountable to the biblical account of LOGOS– the person of Christ. Connecting the dots— from author to author down the corridor of time– provides critical context in understanding the cultural milieu in which we live. In doing so, we are enabled to climb the summit and LEAD the culture.

EVERYONE is welcome to listen in. Thoughtful comments and respectful questions which challenge the conversation toward the True, the Good, and the Beautiful are not only appropriate, they are desired.

Do your reading, your thinking, join the Great Conversation and get a taste of the education we never received!

BUT FIRST — come the Prerequisites. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The PROLOGUE is built for beginners in worldview /classical thought– or for those who’ve never been part of a college Humanities class. To get myself and you on the same page, working through the first 5 POSTS may prove to be helpful.

1. Understanding the Crisis
2. Getting into the Big Leagues
3. Knowing our Starting Points
4. Biblical Theism: The Foundational View
5. A Pre-Test on the LOGOS

NOTE: The site will, hopefully, develop as time moves on. Branching into several directions, ie. Books and Chapters may occur. Bear with me as I figure out how to use this medium.
