Today, we take a brief and broad tour of Ancient Greek civilization. This includes some of the basics of public and private Religion in Greek society, and some of the influential ideas of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. If it is claimed that Greek ideas corrupted the Christian faith – then it is necessary to be familiar with some of the main ideas to be able to evaluate the claim. We make a few brief comments on contemporary debates over "Christian Platonism" and...

Among the Ancients IIPindar and BacchylidesIn the fifth episode of Among the Ancients II we turn to Greek lyric, focusing on Pindar’s victory odes, considered a benchmark for the sublime since antiquity, and the vivid, narrative-driven dithyrambs of Bacchylides. Through close reading, Emily and Tom tease out allusions, lexical flourishes and formal experimentation, and explain the highly contextual nature of these tightly choreographed, public-facing poems. They illustrate how precarious work could be for a praise poet in a world driven by competition – striking the right note to please your patron, guarantee the next gig, and stay on good terms with the gods.

JRP DAILYThe New Workcation | JRP DAILY 256Do any of you follow guys like Russell Brunson, Dean Graziosi, or even Barbara Corcoran?
I have seen all of them using this new idea of a "workcation"... even though nobody is really calling it that yet.
A "workcation" used to basically just be you sitting outside with your laptop, and posting on social media about how you are so dedicated to your work because you are sitting outside with your laptop.
But now there is a whole new approach to the "workcation."

How indeed might we define and describe utopia? Can utopian ideas be not only practical and pragmatic but also democratic? When considering utopia where does religious faith and thinking intertwine with the secular world? Can we even talk about commonly held...
