Dear family and friends of Concordia Classical Academy -
One of the things we learned from the recent parent survey was that we need to do a better job of getting good information out to you, or families, about what Classical Lutheran education is, and why it is the best way to form minds, bodies, and spirits in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To that end, I have asked Mr. Davis Smith, a Hillsdale trained classical Lutheran Educator to provide suggested readings for all of us as we seek the good, true, and beautiful for our families and for our children. The following is his first suggested reading.

Our Lord and Savior Jesus bless the work of His Word among us, that saved by the grace of God, we may all be formed to live lives of meaningful and purpose in Jesus' Name.
~Pastor LaPlant

"In a world filled with books, how can a Christian know what books to read? Davis Smith offers suggestions and insights into what is good for the Christian to read as we seek to live lives of purpose according to the blessing that we have in Holy Baptism.

How can Christians be lifelong learners? This is what St. Augustine is concerned with in his short yet masterful book 𝑶𝒏 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈. Written a few years before his death in 430 AD as the Roman Empire was in its twilight, Augustine addresses the question: 'How can a Christian use the tools of secular learning to read Scripture well and grow in their faith?' His advice still carries powerful resonance for believers today who want to cultivate a vibrant life of the mind along with pious habits of Bible study and good works as they grow in sanctification through the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

In Book I, Augustine outlines the basics of Christian theology and anthropology as he asserts that all earthly gifts are to be used for the glory of God rather than enjoyed for their own sake (that is, only God Himself is to be loved for no other reason than Himself). The Christian must "order his or her loves" (ordo amoris) toward the only true and lasting source of good—the Holy Trinity. Book II details the subjects which should be learned in a well-rounded classical education so that the student may understand the Scriptures on the deepest level. It culminates in the famous analogy of "plundering the Egyptians": just as God instructed the Israelites to take the wealth and gold of Egypt on their way out during the Exodus, later transforming it into the Tabernacle, so Christians ought to "plunder" the riches of worldly wisdom with discernment in all areas of knowledge so that they can grow in the love of Christ and their neighbor. Book III discusses hermeneutical approaches to interpreting Scripture, while Book IV offers a defense and description of rhetoric as useful and vital for the teaching of eternal truths in the classroom and pulpit.

Overall, On Christian Teaching makes for a superb introduction to the Christian vision of classical education: the harnessing of true, good, and beautiful arts and subjects that refine our language, thinking, and character. Such education leads us to delight more deeply in the Lord and come to a fuller understanding of the world we inhabit. Augustine's book helps us to "order our loves" toward what is lasting, and to direct all our learning toward that goal."
