Lutheranism & the Classics

LUTHERANISM & THE CLASSICS II: READING THE CHURCH FATHERS
September 28-29, 2012
Concordia Theological Seminary
Fort Wayne, Indiana


Although the fathers of the church occasionally erred, Lutherans have always had the highest regard for such ancient teachers as, e.g., Augustine, Jerome and Chrysostom, as well as the old Lutheran theologians Chemnitz, Hunnius, Selnecker, Calov and others. Concordia Theological Seminary is pleased, therefore, to offer the second Lutheranism and the Classics Conference under the theme, "Reading the Church Fathers." The conference features three plenary papers, a banquet address and 20 sectional presenters on the Reformation-era reception of the Latin/Greek fathers, classical authors, ancient Christian hymnody, cultivation of neo-Latin and pedagogy. Latin will be used in three worship settings. The presentation by Joanna Hensley is intended especially for classical educators and homeschoolers. The conference celebrates Lutheranism's engagement with the church's greatest teachers of the past and to their value for the propagation of the faith to present and future generations.

FW: [Sturm] The Seven Liberal Arts

Subject: [Sturm] The Seven Liberal Arts

 

 

From David L. Wagner's florilegium, "The Seven Liberal Arts in the
Middle Ages," (p. 60)

"In the schoolboys' mnemonic encapsulating the functions of the seven
arts, grammar is given the first place:

Gram loquitur;
Dia vera docet;
Rhet verba colorat;
Mus canit;
Ar numerat;
Ge ponderat;
Ast colit astra.

Grammar speaks;
dialectic teaches truth;
rhetoric adorns words;
music sings;
arithmetic counts;
geometry measures;
astronomy studies stars."

The techne divided into the verbal arts (trivium) and the mathematical
arts (quadrivium), and from the earliest days there were already
discussions around two camps which debated: Is the world ordered and
regular or irregular and untidy, according to convention (nomo) or
nature (physei)? This book is one of my favorites for delving into an
understanding of the background and history of the liberal arts.

The goal of education is a wise and eloquent piety.
