Episode description

This podcast looks at some of the reasons we study old books. I give three reasons to study the old books: (1) they inspire hearts; (2) they sharpen minds; and (3) they cultivate character. Then, I address some of the common objections to reading them: (1) they are impractical and irrelevant to the 21st century; (2) they lack diversity and contribute to racism and other injustices in our world; and (3) they do not teach the beliefs and values of the Christian worldview. I hope this podcasts equips you to understand the value of a curriculum filled with "old books."
