I am pleased to announce that Veritas Academy is offering adult classes in the evenings in the fall and spring. We are offering classes in Omnibus—our study of the Great Books of Western Civilization. Omnibus is a distinctive method of reading and discussing the Great Books of Western Civilization. These books, starting, of course, with the Scriptures, have been the backbone of the great cultural heritage of Western Civilization that has come down to us. These ideas and their consequences have been foundational to the development of Christianity in the West and to the Founding of America. Today, sadly, too often these books and the ideas that they contain are little known in our culture—and our freedoms are being eroded because we do not know the truths of the Bible, the stories of the past, and the great wealth of wisdom handed down from one generation to the next in the Christian West. Omnibus is our attempt to recover these truths by introducing people to their cultural and historical forefathers, by understanding and appreciating the truths that they taught and the sacrifices that they made, and by working to apply timeless truth to our lives today. This method was developed at Veritas Academy over more than a decade and it is used by thousands of classical Christian students and teacher across the country and around the world. (more…)
