2016 Workshop Talk | 0:55:02 | All Grade Levels, Literature, Logic, Rhetoric & Composition
Summary
Our students should be able to see the truth. Having seen it, they should be able to say it, capturing it with their words. And when saying it, their words should be compelling, burdened with beauty and meaning in a way that obligates and moves their fellow men and women.
Speaker
N.D. Wilson is a best-selling author and a Fellow of Literature at New St. Andrews College. His books have been published in dozens of languages all around the globe, and his nonfiction work, Death by Living, won top honors in Christianity TodayÍs 2014 Book Awards in the spirituality category. More recently, he has been working as a screenwriter and filmmaker, and is currently preparing C.S. LewisÍ The Great Divorce for production (after years of development). He received his BA from New St. Andrews College and his MA from St. JohnÍs College, but the foundation of his education was laid by Logos School in Moscow, Idaho, where he attended K_12, where his five children all currently attend, and where he now serves as a permanent board member. He and his wife, Heather, live in a tall skinny house with their busy children and almost as many pets as Noah took on the Ark.
