The Recovery of Real Education: Saving Western Civilization One Student at a Time

What is classical education and what does it aim to achieve? This collection of eleven essays discusses the traditional notion of education as a means for passing on our civilization to our offspring. And not just any civilization, but the Christian West's civilization – the civilization that grew out of the cultures of three cities: Athens, Rome, and Jerusalem, cultures that were taken, transformed, and transmitted by Western Christianity for over 1,500 years and that, despite being plagued today by other, non-academic educational agendas, are still the foundation of life and learning.

Here are a handful of the articles that best express our perspectives on what education is and how it should be seen. This collection includes pieces on the Great Works, the age-old question of Athens-Jerusalem relations, C.S. Lewis's books, classical rhetoric, and even children's music.
