He redeems them.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Classical Christian Education experiences a renewal in the West, more and more Chinese Christians are eager to participate in it-but they face a dilemma. Contemporary resources on classical Christian education almost unanimously define it as a Western tradition rooted in Western languages, Western literature, and the seven liberal arts. Does this mean that Chinese classical Christian schools must also adopt a Western curriculum? Or might they draw from their own Eastern tradition, one characterized not by men such as Plato, Herodotus, and Shakespeare but by Confucius, Sima Qian, and Li Bai?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eRedeeming the Six Arts\u003c\/em\u003e, Brent Pinkall argues that classical Christian education is not fundamentally a canon of fixed texts or subjects but rather an \u003cem\u003eapproach\u003c\/em\u003e rooted in the Fifth Commandment: Honor thy father and thy mother. Insofar as our ancestors differ, the languages, literature, and arts we study will also differ. Although Chinese Christians share the same \"spiritual\" fathers as their Western counterparts, their \"earthly\" fathers are different, and therefore their curriculum must reflect not only a shared \"Christian\" heritage but also a unique \"classical\" heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brent Pinkall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Roman Roads Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944482695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePinkall, Brent:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Brent Pinkall is Lecturer of Rhetoric at New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho and has ministered in China for many years, promoting classical Christian education there.
