Andrew Zwerneman On Thinking Historically
Show Notes

Andrew Zwerneman, president of Cana Academy, joins Jeremy Tate to discuss his new book History Forgotten and Remembered.  Andrew discusses the reasons why society has grown out of the habit of thinking historically. He also touches on why thinking historically should involve the concept of living between "two great acts of giving"—that of being given the culture we inhabit, and the act of conveying what we cultivate today to future generations. He also discusses why a fragmentary approach to  history (which retells history by viewing only egregious events in our past) is harmful to the study of history and ultimately to society.
