Classical vs. Modern Education: A Vision from C.S. Lewis
In this masterful work, C.S. Lewis observes how modern education is in fact changing our conception of what it means to be human. By sequestering the student from the objective values that formed the basis for virtue formation, modern educational practices perpetuate a mechanistic vision of the world comprised of scientifically inspired control over nature and, as a necessary consequence, humans. The Abolition of Man is C.S. Lewis’ invitation to rediscover the doctrine of objective values and, in so doing, rediscover what it means to be truly human.
Movies and the Moral Imagination: Finding Paradise in Films

In this book, you’ll learn how movies can awaken our moral imaginations to Christian themes that still pervade our films. And you’ll discover how our children can encounter depictions of truth that lead to a life of wisdom and virtue. You’ll never watch a movie the same way again!
