The Liberal Arts and the Lifting of Hearts

Presentation by Rev. Jeff Hendrix, given at the 2023 Family Altar Conference: For Altar and For Hearth, by Return to Wittenberg at Faith Lutheran Church, Oregon, WI, May 20, 2023. The liberal arts, liberal in the classic sense, are meant for freedom. After the Reformation, the Lutheran emphasis on a liberal arts education led to unprecedented social mobility.  It was a flourishing of all of society.  Rev. Jeff Hendrix makes the case that perhaps this type of education is a remedy for many of our burdens today.
