Cautionary Points on Classical Education

The Generations Radio Program

We may appreciate the trivium, or a careful study of history, or the great literature. . . but is it a Christ-centered history or a man-centered history? Is it pagan literature, or Christian literature? These are extremely critical questions with which Christian parents must grapple. Their children’s souls are at stake in regards to these matters. Here are some cautionary notes concerning classical education. The reintroduction of Greek humanism into the universities in the 1300s killed the faith once. Then again, the right wing and left wing enlightenment turned back to the Greeks in the 1700s — killing the Protestant faith. The same thing is happening today with a return to a humanist epistemology and ethic. Bottom line, here isn’t nearly enough careful worldview discernment. . . among those classical teachers who have had their training in liberal arts from public schools, non-discerning Christian schools, and left-wing Christian liberal arts colleges.
