If you look in the right places, there really is much to be hopeful for regarding the Classics.

For more than a decade, I have seen the majority of Classical Christian schools, some Christian schools, and a handful of Christian colleges not only read, but greatly value the masterpieces of the Great Tradition. Here is a fantastic article making a fine case that if the Classics do not have a future, they should. Enjoy!
