Should Students Study Pagan Beliefs in a Classical Education?

from Classical Et Cetera · host The Memoria Press Podcast Network

On this week's Classical Et Cetera, Memoria Press takes on one of our most common questions in classical Christian education: Why should Christians study paganism at all?   We explore how to approach pagan philosophy, literature, and Greek mythology in the classroom, and why these texts still matter for students learning within the tradition of Christianity. From Plato and Aristotle to Paul at the Areopagus, we consider how pagan authors asked the right questions—and how the Bible is where we ultimately get the answers.   Whether you’re a homeschool parent, a teacher, or simply curious about classical education, this conversation will help you see how pagan works can be taught with discernment, why they remain part of a Memoria Press curriculum, and how to read them in light of the truth of Christianity.   Read "Why Should Christians Read the Pagan Classics" from our founder, Cheryl Lowe: https://www.memoriapress.com/articles/why-should-christians-read-pagan-classics/?utm_source=PodBean&utm_medium=CETC&utm_campaign=185   *What We're Reading* from This Episode:  _The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion_—Beth Brower (Tanya) _The Human Factor_—Graham Greene (Paul) _Around the World in Eighty Days_—Jules Verne (Paul) _The Idiot_—Fyodor Dostoevsky (Martin)
