The Path to the Academy
“Saint” Homer and the Gentiles without the Law
Dr. Jenkins welcomes Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick back to Path to the Academy, where they discuss St. Basil’s “Address to Young Men on the Right Use of Greek Literature.” St. Basil gives both high and low praise to the pagans, and Fr. Andrew and Dr. Jenkins discuss the text’s relevance for today, how pagans could be virtuous, and why we should read the pagans to help us understand Holy Scripture.
