2020 Workshop Talk | 1:10:26 | 7-12, Logic
Summary
Logic and rhetoric are core subjects for classical Christian education, in both its philosophy and practice. But what kind of wisdom does our Christian faith require us to teach to our students and children concerning these two high-octane subjects? How should our study of both logic and rhetoric be informed by a Christian ethic of love, sacrifice, and joy? How are poetry, humor, and chocolate cake tools in the hand of the logician? How do we at one and the same time create intelligent students while keeping them humble before God and man?
