If there is nothing new under the sun, then it makes sense to look to those who have gone before us for the answers to living boldly and confidently in a world that continues to unravel around us with so many young and old struggling to make wise choices. Dr. Louis Markos, a scholar at Houston Baptist University, brings to the wisdom of the ancient Greek and Roman teachers in an engaging way for us today. These thought leaders from centuries ago have a lot to say about living well and flourishing as we lead and guide the next generation to love God and love neighbors.

Dr. Louis Markos Professor of English and Scholar in Residence at Houston Baptist University. He speaks widely on ancient Greece and Rome, Lewis and Tolkien, and apologetics and classical education.
