The Puritan poet John Milton is most famous for his massive theological epic Paradise Lost. He was also known as perhaps the greatest genius of the English Renaissance possibly the besteducated man of his day and also a major theorist of classical learning for Christians. The man who wrote the seminal words The end then of Learning is to repair the ruines of our first Parents by regaining to know God aright, and out of that knowledge to love him, to imitate him, to be like him . . . (Of Education, 1644) argues across all his voluminous writings that the purpose of education is soul work for virtue as opposed to information gathering for profit. In this book, Milton scholar Professor Grant Horner from The Masters College examines the poets powerful vision of a Christian and classical education. Trained at Duke University by Stanley Fish, the worlds most influential Miltonist, Horner approaches the text as a Christian educator himself, bringing the complex seventeenthcentury texts into modern light for practical application. Addressing questions such as how to handle pagan texts, how to develop a theology of aesthetics, and why we must grapple with the relationship between pagan wisdom and scripture, this book will serve as a thorough and readable introduction to the complex thought of one of the Puritan intellectual giants.

I bought this thinking it would be more accessible, but it turned out to be pretty academic and dense. If you're looking for something lighter, keep searching. Just wasn't for me!

Could've been better structured
While the content is rich, I felt the organization of ideas could use work. Sometimes I lost track of the main points. Still, it's a decent read for educators or philosophy buffs.

A bit dense but rewarding
This book has a lot of information packed into it. I had to take my time with it, but I really appreciated the depth of Milton's analysis on education. Not for everyone, but worth the effort!

Found it fascinating!
As a teacher, I really enjoyed Milton's take on the interplay of learning and virtue. It gave me lots to think about in my own practice. Definitely made me reflect on my teaching methods!
