Passing the Torch - An Apology for Classical Christian Education

Louis Markos

Beschreibung

What is the purpose and meaning of classical education?
Imagine a world where education isn't just about information transfer but about shaping the soul, where students are nurtured to become virtuous, morally self-regulating citizens. Passing the Torch makes an energetic case for the critical role of classical Christian education in today's world. From the pre-Christian musings of Plato to the modern reflections of C. S. Lewis, Passing the Torch intertwines the wisdom of diverse epochs to argue for an educational renaissance grounded in classical Christian values.
Passing the Torch takes educators and parents on a literary and philosophical pilgrimage that includes:

- Bibliographic Essays: Each essay serves as a gateway to key texts and influential thinkers, making it an invaluable guide for educators and homeschooling parents alike.
- Close Readings: Delve into thoughtful examinations of pivotal figures such as Augustine, Rousseau, and Dorothy Sayers offering an intimate understanding of the moral and educational imperatives they championed.
- Passionate Advocacy: Passing the Torch ignites a fervor for the value and necessity of classical Christian education that is both infectious and inspiring.
In an era where educational paradigms often prioritize technological proficiency over moral formation, Passing the Torch is a call to return to the roots of classical Christian education.
"Reflecting on the writings of literary and philosophical giants from Plato and Augustine to C.S. Lewis and Dorothy Sayers, Markos makes a strong case for the benefits of classical education over the modern public education system." – Library Journal Review, April 2025

Essentials of Economic Theory

John Bates Clark

John Bates Clark was an American economist who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is considered one of the founders of the neoclassical school of economics and is best known for his work on marginal productivity theory. 
One of Clark's most influential works is his book "The Essentials of Economic Theory" which was first published in 1907. The book provides an introduction to economic theory and covers a wide range of topics, including production, consumption, distribution, and exchange. 
Clark's approach to economic theory was highly mathematical and he believed that economic analysis should be based on the principles of marginalism. He argued that the value of a good or service is determined by the marginal utility it provides to consumers and the marginal cost of producing it. 
Clark also developed the theory of marginal productivity, which suggests that the value of a worker's contribution to the production process is equal to the marginal product of labor. This theory has been highly influential in the development of modern labor economics. 
Overall, "The Essentials of Economic Theory" is an important work that has had a significant impact on the development of economic thought. Clark's emphasis on the principles of marginalism and his development of the theory of marginal productivity have helped to shape the way that economists think about markets and the role of individuals in the production process.

Play Therapy - Helping Children...

Vivian Westlake

Play is a fundamental aspect of childhood, serving as a natural medium through which children explore the world, express emotions, and develop essential skills. For children facing emotional, social, or psychological challenges, play becomes more than just a recreational activity; it transforms into a powerful tool for healing and growth. Play therapy harnesses the innate creativity and spontaneity of play to address a wide range of difficulties, offering children a safe and supportive environment to work through their struggles.
Unlike traditional talk therapies, which often rely on verbal communication, play therapy meets children where they are developmentally. Young children may lack the vocabulary or emotional insight to articulate their feelings, but through play, they can communicate their inner world in ways that feel natural and unthreatening. Whether through drawing, role-playing, or using toys as symbolic representations, children can express thoughts and emotions they might not be able to convey otherwise.
The importance of play therapy lies in its ability to bridge gaps in communication and understanding. It provides a structured yet flexible framework in which children can explore difficult experiences, such as trauma, grief, or anxiety, at their own pace. In this therapeutic space, children are empowered to make choices, solve problems, and build resilience. These experiences not only help them process current challenges but also equip them with skills that will serve them throughout their lives.
