Passing the Torch

Discipleship & Christian Education

“In Passing the Torch, Louis Markos brings to the issue of classical education what he brings to everything else: scholarly wisdom, a broad knowledge of the subject, and just plain common sense. Classical Christian education has grown into a national movement despite the fact that many of those involved in growing it were not entirely certain of what it was they were trying to rediscover. Fortunately, a new generation of Christian classicists have arisen to tell them, and Markos may be the best of them. He has retrieved from the sands of time the ancient scrolls of learning, blown off the dust of neglect from the scholarly relics, and returned them to the light of our attention. Passing the Torch is one of the best articulations yet of the importance of passing on the culture of the Christian West to a new generation.”
