Great episode! Very relevant to the many Christians who are hesitant to jump into classical education because of all of the "Non-Christian" literature. In this episode they say it's not only OK to do so but it's necessary to treat the subjects properly and to transmit Western culture and values onto the next generation.
Thank you for another great video. Tanya mentioned fear of learning the Greek myth and gods; for me, it's my ignorance. I did not have a classical education. I knew that the New Testament was written in Greek, but I was ignorant about the implications of that. I especially appreciate Martin's points about ancient Egypt and Babylonia not knowing what Man is but the Greeks did.
So here are my arguments: There is a difference between not being a christian and being raised actually IN the hellenistic culture vs being raised or raising christian kids and not living in a culture that lives based on the greek mythologies. I can see how paul is obviously a great rhetorician and was trained in classical methods. My major concern is more scriptural an anything ... Is that the scriptures tell us to stop looking at silly mythologies and etc. (1 timothy 4:7). However i need to go back and look at the full context of that passage.

Enjoyed this discussion! Addressed the issues many christian parents have regarding pagan literature.
