Classical learning is classical because…
1. It is close to
the original (the way God made) way of learning
2. It is not
conquered by modern fads or by the traditions and philosophies of man
3. It is an
influential force that conquers and shapes cultures
If classical learning is truly classical, then we should find much
evidence of the Trivium (knowledge or
grammar, understanding or logic, wisdom or rhetoric) in God’s
Word, and we do…
For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; Proverbs 2:6
A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge
is easy for a man of understanding. Proverbs
14:6
And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest
upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and
might, the Spirit of knowledge and
the fear of the LORD. Isaiah 11:2
Youths without blemish, of good
appearance and skillful in all wisdom,
endowed with knowledge, understanding learning, and competent to
stand in the king’s palace, and to teach them the literature and language of
the Chaldeans. Daniel 1:4
He changes times and seasons; he
removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom
to the wise and knowledge to those
who have understanding; Daniel
2:21
And so, from the day we heard, we
have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, Colossians 1:9
That their hearts may be encouraged,
being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s
mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Colossians 2:2-3
