A Truly Wonderful Mind,
By Andrea di Pietro della Gondola (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basil: Letters, Volume IV, Letters 249-368. Address to Young Men on Greek Literature. (Loeb Classical Library No. 270) (Hardcover)
St. Basil is one of the most eloquent fathers of the Church. This volume is a collection of letters. But perhaps most importantly, it contains an essay of his, To Young Men. This essay discusses clearly and succinctly the reasonable use and application of Classical sources (i.e. Greek and Latin) within a Christian's life. He successfuly argues, as do other Fathers, that "all truth is God's truth." Not only may the Classics be used, but there is almost an imperative to use them, to sift through what good there is, and to identify the chaff.
No Christian seriously pursuing academic studies (not just theology students, but all!) should be ignorant of this work. It will allow you to open your mind to what the Academy has to offer without giving up your religious roots. |
