Ascent to Love: A Guide to Dante’s Divine Comedy
Publisher/Author
Leithart, Logos Press
Other Information
Level: 7-12
Description
“As the unsurpassed Christian epic poem, Dante’s Divine Comedy provides not only far more personality and emotional depth than the pagan epics, it opens up all the issues on which Western history turns-truth, beauty, goodness, sin, sanctification, and triumph. In this guide, Peter J. Leithart brings his rich biblical-typological insight to bear in opening up the Comedy for students, high school and up, mainly the sort of kids who keep looking for the jokes in the “comedy.” After examining the meaning and place of the courtly love tradition leading up to Dante, the heart of the guide walks us carefully through the craft and symbolisms of each progressive stage-Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. Each section contains helpful study questions.” – Google Books

“BBG has become the most used English-Greek textbook around the world. When it was first released, it introduced many innovations that are now common place in Greek classrooms. Over 250,000 students have used BBG to move past their English Bibles and into the Greek of the New Testament. It makes learning fun (almost fun for some), reduces memory work to a minimum, and is constantly reminding students why they are learning New Testament Greek.” – billmounce.com

Brightest Heaven of Invention: A Christian Guide to Six Shakespeare Plays
Publisher/Author
Logos Press
Other Information
Level: 7-12
Description
“Shakespeare was a great observer, who was able to see deeply into the patterns of human character. Dare anyone say that these insights are irrelevant to living in the real world? For many in an older generation the Bible and the Collected Shakespeare were the two indispensable books.
Leithart’s perceptive walk through these plays is written especially for a high school level course, but older students will benefit as well. The six plays discussed are: Henry V, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Macbeth, The Taming of the Shrew, and Much Ado About Nothing.” – Logos Press
