Does Christianity Conflict with Greek Epics?
What’s Homer got to do Christianity? With the upcoming film adaptation of The Odyssey, there is a renewed interest in Ancient Greece. In one way, the way of life idealized by Ancient Greeks was very different from how Christianity would later shape culture around the world. But, in another way, there is substantial agreement between the two. Dr. Scott Masson, Associate Professor of English at Tyndale University, joins us today to discuss an unexpected pairing of ancient writings: The Odyssey and the book of Proverbs. Is there something we in the 21st-century West could learn from Homer’s epic poem? How does Scripture shed light on it? Tune into this week’s edition of the AC Podcast to find out.
