2016 Workshop Talk | 0:58:37 | General Classroom
Summary
Paul said that in Christ, all things consist. As providers of a classical Christian education, one of the great intellectual gifts that you are passing on to your students is an understanding not just of a wide selection of disparate subjects, but of how those different subjects all cohere. This workshop will explore how classical Christian educators can make practical use of this great strength of the classical Christian method.
