007 - Book Four Part 1

from Paradise Lost · host John Milton

Dive into Paradise Lost, the groundbreaking epic that marks the dawn of English literature in its classical form. John Milton, inspired by the greats like Homer, Virgil, and Dante, endeavored to craft a masterpiece that embodies the core principles of the Protestant faith. This remarkable poem, dictated from memory and transcribed by his daughter, stands as one of the most profound works in the English canon. Join us as we explore the original 1667 edition, featuring ten books, a format distinct from the later 1674 edition which restructured it into twelve books, reminiscent of Virgils Aeneid. Discover more in our captivating recording.

Moorish Orthodox Radio Crusade P.L. Wilson, B. Weinberg, A-M. Hendrickson, & S. Gregory, These supposedly 'lost' recordings provide a passaged to an undiscovered continent of spiritual radicalism that flourished in the 1980s and 1990s. C.S. Lewis's The Last Battle St. Philip's Church: Charleston, SC Come join us on Wednesday nights as we explore the riches of C.S. Lewis’s marvelous book The Last Battle, which is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a remarkable book on multiple levels and was awarded the Carnegie Medal back in the 1950s when it was first published. The Last Battle has some themes in common with The Great Divorce and That Hideous Strength that will make it an excellent follow-up to those two books, and like them, it has some remarkable resonance with things going on in today’s culture. It is a book that is both theologically rich and poignantly beautiful in its writing, and it can help equip us to live boldly for Christ in a culture that has lost its way. (Although this book is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia, it can stand on its own and it is not necessary to have read the other books for this class.)
