Engaging in the Great Conversations of the Great Books and the Great Ideas nestled in them, Ancient Literature beckons students to step back in time and enter the world of biblical and classic civilizations. Students walk the dusty path of reasoning well and communicating winsomely by first listening to these great conversations from the beginning, then by joining in these timeless discussions. From the restless travails of Gilgamesh to Shakespeare’s politically embroiled Julius Caesar, students learn to appreciate the esthetic qualities of each work as well as analyze, interpret, and evaluate its moral tones and themes from the biblical perspective. Ultimately, students in Ancient Literature develop an appreciation for how ancient literature reflects the worldview of its authors.
