Great Books are Making a Comeback in America. Here's Why.
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.
