Reason & Faith: A Cultural Conversation About Classical Education

Join us in this enlightening episode of the Classical Etc. podcast from Memoria Press. Dive into a rich and thought-provoking discussion on faith and reason with Martin Cothran, Tanya Charlton, and Paul Schaeffer, as they delve into the intricate intersection of Athens and Jerusalem in classical education. The core of today's discussion revolves around Martin's article in "The Classical Teacher". It presents three historical perspectives on the relationship between Greek (Athens) and Hebrew (Jerusalem) cultures: the Conflict View by Tertullian, the Reconciliation Theory by Matthew Arnold, and the Dialectic Theory by Joseph Strauss. Join us in exploring how these theories influence the modern classical education model. How do the balance of Greek intellectualism and Hebrew holiness shape our understanding and teaching methodologies? Engage with our deep dive into the philosophical backgrounds of these theories and their significant influence on Western history, civilization, and thought. This episode is a must-listen for educators, students, and anyone interested in the profound connection between historical cultures and modern education.
