Dr. Louis Markos leads the discussion in Episode 8 of the Christ & Classics Podcast: the Classics, the Christ, and Classical Christian Education. In this episode Dr. Markos explains to us how Christ is the complete Truth to which all other truth in the pagan classics intimates and foreshadows. In addition, we discuss with Dr. Markos the vital role of classical schools in America and why they are superior to public, progressive models of education. ________ Dr. Louis Markos is a Professor of English, Scholar-in-Residence, and Robert H.
