6/7/2023 0 Comments Odyssee by Homer![]() ![]() Then, ideally, it should be picked up again and read as an adult. The two epics provided the basis of Greek education and culture in the Classical age, and they have remained among the most significant poems of the European tradition. The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseus as he travels home from the war. ![]() Not to be familiar with this book is to miss out on really important aspects of being human. The Iliad, set during the Trojan War, tells the story of the wrath of Achilles. What is "home" what is our deepest longing? The women here are powerful and interesting: Athena and Penelope? Excellent intelligent women who are good and decent models for girls, but for boys, too. It's not meant to be ploughed through: a student should be given information about it, and then a teacher, preferably, should point out and discuss salient points. Any student should be minimally aware of the story line any good high school student going to college should know it in depth. The Odyssey is ancient so use a good modern translation. What have they learned about life, themselves, and other people? It's fashionable to have students read certain things because "they don't want to read anyway, so let's give them something they'll like." What happens is that they may read, and may feel good about it, but it's a useless exercise. ![]() ![]() ![]() You do not have resell or distribution rights without the prior written permission of both the publisher and the copyright owner of this book.

If I answer the first question confident I would have been an abolitionist no matter the cost, then the second question shouldn’t give me much angst. ![]() However, I was constantly left wondering two things: 1) as a pastor, what would I have done back then?, and 2) what should I be doing now that I’m not? ![]() The righteous anger is, I’m sure, self-explanatory. It was difficult because it created so many visceral emotions of righteous anger and uncomfortable wondering. Not because I disagree with the thesis, or was even unprepared for the topic I knew he was going to address. As a white pastor in the United States, this book was challenging to say the least. ![]() I cannot underscore how important Jemar’s book is–which is why I couldn’t contain myself to a shorter quote list. ![]() The twist is, many white readers have rarely–if ever–visited this street before. Jemar Tisby–self-described as a Christian, historian, writer, and speaker–takes readers on a trip down memory lane.
