What is your World Perspective?

Three thoughts: 

1. In our Mission and Method statement, we write, "The Classical Historian is inspired by the best that is offered in the Great Tradition of Western Education: honesty, virtue, patience, and logical analysis of evidence and conclusions."

This is our world perspective as historians.  All people should strive to live for these values. 

2. There is no such thing as “Christian History, or Jewish History, or for that matter, Atheist History” unless it is a study of a particular religion or pagan movement during a particular time period.  There are, however, perspectives that an author brings to his writing. History is something that occurred regardless of one's faith.

3. We (the De Gree family) are Christians dedicated to living our faith through works, and when needed, words.  As a historian, our beliefs are reflected in how we study the past and in how we treat our students and others.  We hold the tradition of the Western Experience (Judeo-Christianity, Greco-Roman) to be superior to any other, because it encourages the freest and best expression of the individual human spirit, mind, and will. However, we think that believers and non believers both deserve access to the best, most open, education. 

Thank you very much for your question!
