Our society today has a functionalist view of education. What that means in popular culture today is education is defined and measured solely on the basis of better job prospects at the end of a process. In other words, one ought to get the best education in order to get the best job, in order to be successful, and so on.
We no longer consider and appreciate the formative power that education brings to the imagination, creativity and other social advantages that come along with it. In this show we will attempt to demonstrate the difference between good education and the misguided ones; consequences of apathy on the subject and presenting good alternatives such as the Chesterton School of Liberal Arts.
This episode starts off with a discussion about reading books by non-christian authors. Is it ok to read books such as The God Delusion, or should Christians be sticking to strictly “Christian based” apologetics books? The hosts then continue with a in depth look at abortion, one of the most controversial issues of the day. Should Christians be speaking/sharing in front of clinics, if so how? Has or society devalued human life? Why should we care about abortion if it “doesn’t really affect us”? When is a human actually a human? All these questions and more.
