Areopagitica (Version 2)-John Milton

from Paradise Lost Hosted by John Milton

"Areopagitica" by John Milton is a powerful and eloquent defense of free speech and the importance of unlicensed printing. Written during a time of political and religious turmoil, Milton argues against censorship and advocates for the free exchange of ideas, emphasizing that truth will ultimately prevail when it is allowed to compete in the marketplace of thoughts. This treatise remains profoundly relevant today, as debates around freedom of expression and the regulation of information continue to shape our society. Milton's passionate call for intellectual liberty not only reflects the struggles of his time but also resonates with contemporary discussions about the balance between authority and individual rights.

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.)
