Classical Education and Christian Discipleship: Reforming Men (Part II)

By June 29, 2019March 22nd, 2023No Comments

In part two, we will consider the remarkable similarities and the complementary functions of classical education and Christian discipleship, even as we draw distinctions between them – the most important of which is that as disciple-makers, we are not seeking to sculpt better versions of Adam, but rather we are God’s instruments in His molding of young men and women into the brilliant image of Jesus.
