Jarrett Vandiver’s Reviews > Address to Young Men on the Right Use of Greek Literature > Status Update

Love St Basil’s advice on education which seeks to use the best of the world’s knowledge as a foundation for the Gospel, the “sun itself.”

“…become first initiated in the pagan lore, then at length give special heed to the sacred and divine teachings, even as we first accustom ourselves to the sun's reflection in the water, and then become able to turn our eyes upon the very sun itself.”
