1000: Why Christians Should Read the Greco-Roman Classics | Nadya Williams

In this episode, Shaun Tabatt welcomes author and classicist Nadya Williams to discuss her new book Christians Reading Classics: An Introduction to Greco-Roman Classics from Homer to Boethius.

Why should Christians read ancient Greek and Roman literature? What can writers like Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Tacitus, and Marcus Aurelius teach us about virtue, the soul, and the search for meaning?

Nadya explains how the Greco-Roman classics help us better understand the world of the Bible, the questions ancient people asked about life and eternity, and why these works still shape education and culture today.

In this conversation, you'll discover:

• Why the ancient world was wrestling with many of the same questions we ask today
• What the rise of modern Stoicism reveals about our culture
• How classical literature can deepen our understanding of Scripture
• Why great books form our character and shape our faith

Whether you're a pastor, student, homeschool parent, or lifelong learner, this episode will help you see why the classics are still worth reading.
