Since Douglas Wilson’s Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning, classical methods have been emphasized to help children think logically and biblically. But how do we teach children to not only know what is lovely but also to love what is lovely? This session discusses the Judeo-Christian tradition of Beauty — rightly ordered loves — as the missing link between right thinking and right action.
The presentation moves beyond the standard discussion of Truth (Orthodoxy) and Goodness (Orthopraxy) to provide the third, often-neglected transcendental of Beauty (Orthopathy) as the link between the two. It will help members grasp that the ultimate goal is not just intellectual rigor but the nurturing of complete Christians in mind, will, and emotions. By recovering a biblical understanding that truth is more than mere factuality, including an essential aesthetic component, it provides a stronger defense of the faith against modern and postmodern thought.
