Christians should read anything they feel the Lord is leading them to read in order to broaden their knowledge bases. And they should read with intense discernment of spirits.

Paul was extraordinarily conversant with all the thinking of those scholars on Mars’ Hill.

We should not adopt the pagans’ teachings; but we should be aware of them. In fact it would pay Christians to know paganism even better than the pagans do. It’s part of being able to give everyone an answer.

The Irish women used to have a saying. Better the devil you know

I read Harry Potter with that in mind. I can converse intelligently with kids as to what makes it pagan garbage

Without the Greeks, Romans... Judeo Christian Civilization would not be possible.

Moving from worldly “kingdoms” to the city state and nation states of the modern-day in which we live is a contribution in understanding the cause and effect of Natural Law....

The so called pageans Classics are essential to your education giving you a foundation by which the Verse and Word translation are a measure.
