Summary
What makes a book “great?” Who gets to choose which literature is or isn’t allowed into a canon, and should we question those decisions? What is the real value of reading traditionally classic literature today in the 21st century? Brian & Jay examine the idea of a classics-centered education and discuss how the George Fox University Honors Program answers these questions and more. Dr. Brian Doak is an Old Testament scholar and professor. Dr. Jay David Miller teaches English at George Fox University and serves as an associate editor for the journal Quaker Religious Thought. George Fox University has Great Books Honors Program . If you enjoy listening to the George Fox Talks podcast and would like to watch, too, check out our channel on YouTube !
