In this Ask Doug segment, Pastor Wilson responds to a question regarding classical Christian education and its emphasis on Western though and languages: “I would imagine you have read James Jordan’s The Case Against Western Civilization and I wanted to get your take on his analysis and proposals for education (i.e. Hebrew instead of Latin, Music equal with Literature, Tobit and Judith, Shakespeare and Austin, Moliere and Dostoievski, Scott and Stevenson instead of Homer or Hesiod, Sophocles or Euripides, Livy or Plutarch, Mark Twain or Artur Rimbaud). Thanks for your time.”

Very helpful. Thanks.
Super helpful in thinking through all that! Thanks so much.
Re: the comment on people wanting more worship in their education. Worship is not something that occurs solely on Sunday. It is something that occurs (or should!) each moment of our lives. The distinction is the the church corporately worships on Sunday. The remainder of the week, all that we do is to be done for the glory of God, as an offering to him. That is worship, but in a different sense than Sunday’s corporate worship.
