Why are the Great Books “great?” It is not because they are homogenous or historic, but rather because they are a part of a relentless pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness. The Great Books are part of the great conversation throughout history that seeks to answer the hard questions in life. How ought we live? How do we order things appropriately? How do we engage with one another? These questions stemming from the Great Books are the backbone of civil discourse. Reclaiming the Great Books for young minds teaches them first how to listen, then how to think, and finally how to persuade. Reading, reading broadly, and reading intently is the foundation of education.At this two-day Summit, you will learn the history and significance of the Great Books and explore methods for their implementation. We’ll discuss how the Great Books establish what it means to live in civil society and how to instill this at each grade level.
Christian education is built on the tradition of the Great Books. To be a Christian educator is to understand the great conversation and our place in it today. Whether you teach from a classical Christian perspective or not, join us to find our place in this dialogue and story.
