Dana says: This
is a great little intro to reading the classics as a Christian. I am
extremely grateful for Leland Ryken who has authored a number of books
on the topic of literature from a professional (he was a Professor of
English for more than 45 years) and Christian perspective. This book
addresses a number of fundamental questions and ideas such as
misconceptions about classics, what is a classic, why should we read the
classics, how not read a classic, how to read a classic, what is a
Christian classic, what is a secular classic, and speaks about the
greatest classic of them all: the Bible. Ryken's passion for the
classics and the importance of reading them is contagious. My only
complaint is I wish the book would have been longer!
