The Cause - Rob Pirie
Please join me in embarking on the Harvard Classics Series by Dr. Charles Elliot. This series dates back to around 1910 and is a collection of literature that I believe needs to be revived and rediscovered. I look forward to reading and discussing all 50 volumes with you as we learn about the great ideas of those who came before us. In this series, we will dive into Greek and Roman history, the American Founders, works from Francis Bacon, John Milton, and many more. We will cover Shakespeare and Chaucer and also some fictional works like Don Quixote which are all included in the Harvard Classics.
We will also review other books on this podcast that fit the classical education theme.
This series is being created for those passionate about classical education and as a supplement to homeschool curriculums. I truly hope these classical works of literature bring you as much joy as they do me.
Feel free to reach out with any questions as I would love to hear from you!

"Some Blood More Precious Must Be Paid For Man" - Paradise Lost (Books 11 & 12) CONCLUSION
Paradise Lost by John Milton is an epic poem that tells the story of the rise of Satan out of the depths of hell and his campaign to conquer the will of man on Earth. This episode covers books 11 and 12 of Paradise Lost. Join us as we witness the healing between Adam and Eve as they repent and pray for forgiveness. The Son of God hears their prayers and the angel Michael is sent down to deliver their punishment and justice. The two are humbled and kicked out of Eden but not before seeing what the earth, God created, will become because of their actions. Paradise Lost by John Milton is truly an epic poem. I hope you enjoy my explanation of Paradise Lost books 11 and 12.
