If the author would read the bible, she’d know, “not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.”
Paul the apostle reminds us (as he did to the Greeks at Philippi) :
“8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” (Philippians 4)
And to the philosophers of Athens, Paul said the following, as recorded in Acts chapter 17:
“Men of Athens! ...The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth...though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
Paul the Apostle beautifully quoted Ancient Greek poets in his evangelism, to point to Christ!
We do not need college degrees to enrich our faith and our understanding of the immediate world of the Bible and the apostles. We can do so by engaging with Ancient Greece and the classics, and marvel at how God was at work in the ancient Greco-Roman world even before the message of Christ reached their people’s years.
Better to engage with the classics than to leave church on Sunday only to then watch reality TV or Netflix all day. Mind-numbing entertainment is not exactly pure, Noble, right, or lovely.
