The Use Of The Classics As An Instrument Of Christian Education (1867)

The Use of the Classics as an Instrument of Christian Education is a book written by William Henry Simcox and first published in 1867. The book explores the use of classical literature in Christian education, arguing that the study of the classics provides a valuable foundation for understanding Christian thought and values. Simcox discusses the importance of studying the works of ancient Greek and Roman writers such as Homer, Virgil, and Plato, and how their ideas can be applied to Christian teachings. He also examines the role of classical education in shaping the intellectual and moral development of young people. The book is a significant contribution to the 19th-century debate about the relationship between classical education and Christianity, and remains relevant today for those interested in the intersection of these two fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
