Wisdom and Eloquence: A Christian Paradigm for Classical Learning by Crossway Books

Strong history and explanation of the Liberal Arts

Our authors have been involved in education for many years both public and private; Christian and "secular." They are associated with the Society of Classical Learning and speak with profound insight and experience. The strength of the book is the historical discussion of the Liberal Arts and their interaction with Miss Sayers' 1947 essay, "The Lost Tools fo Learning." In addition, they demonstrate the use of the Trivium among Christians of various ages over the past 2500 years of Western history. I don't agree with everything our authors say, but overall it is one of the best discussions in the neo-classical school movement.

Product Description

Wisdom and Eloquence is an indispensable contribution to the literature of classical Christian education.”
E. Christian Kopff
Associate Director, Honors Program; Director, Center for Western Civilization

“Evans and Littlejohn have written a remarkable treatise on education—a readable, practical, and encouraging discourse that demystifies and clarifies the purpose of a liberal education.”
D. Bruce Lockerbie
Chairman, Paideia, Inc., Stony Brook, New York; Author, A Christian Paideia: The Habitual Vision of Greatness

“The authors explore not just the methods but the content of a good Christian education. The book is full of great ideas, but it is also practical, drawing from the authors’ years of experience as classical teachers and administrators.”
Gene Edward Veith, Jr.
Director of the Cranach Institute; Author, Classical Education

“For followers of Christ, a true education is always concerned with who we are, even more than what we know. Littlejohn and Evans help today’s Christians—especially parents—to understand the essence of true education. Wisdom and Eloquence is a book for our times, our churches, and our children. Read, learn, and be inspired.”
R. Albert Mohler, Jr.
President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Ky.
