"What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?" For roughly two thousand years, Christians have greatly differed in their answers to Tertullian's pivotal question. Some would have us believe that the ancient Greeks and Romans are responsible for the entire shape and substance of Western culture. Others would prefer to jettison them altogether. Here, Peter Leithart suggests a careful and balanced approach as he analyzes some of the grand classics of ancient literature, including the Iliad, the Odyssey, the Aeneid, and four prominent Greek dramas.
