Classical Curriculum Guide

This list contains the writings that have generally been held to be the core of Western intellectual history. They provide an excellent opportunity to understand and critique the influences that have shaped Western culture. If you enjoyed Francis Schaeffer's "How Should We Then Live," this list will give you the opportunity to experience first-hand the historical saga he described so well. Unless we teach our children to understand the past, we have not given them the tools to critique the present with a biblical world view.

These books have been organized in a loosely historical sequence with a few exceptions being made for pedagogical reasons. To print this table properly, please set your left and right margins to zero under "page setup."
