Opening Question

Why no 20th century books?


Listen Later

In the Torrey Honors College curriculum, we spend four years marching through nothing but the Great Books, beginning with Homer and ending.... barely in the 20th century? What's going on? Paul, Ellie, and Fred talk about why we have so few books from the ol' 1900s on our list. 


Hosted by: Ellie Martin, Dr. Paul Spears, and Dr. Fred Sanders

----------
Torrey Honors College is the undergraduate honors program at Biola University. We bring together students with different backgrounds from all over the world in pursuit of a common goal.

At Torrey Honors, students read deeply from some of the best books ever written. They gather with close friends to spend hundreds of hours in discussion, searching out answers to big questions together — all while guided by a faculty mentor. And when they graduate, students enter a community dedicated to lifelong learning and pursuing Christ both personally and vocationally.
