Description
For the book : A’ the benefit of Greek letters
Two Homilies of Basil the Great with a purely pedagogical character are contained in the present volume. They aim to cultivate and shape the spiritual and moral development of young people, using classical and Christian literature as an instrument. The first Homilie, entitled “To the young, as if they were to benefit from Greek words” (= on how to benefit from Greek literature), is part of the great Father’s effort to reconcile the competing currents of pagan Philosophy and Christianity in the 4th century AD. Basil the Great, with his Homilie, successfully ensures the great value of Christian principles and traditions, instilling the ideals of the new Faith, especially among young people, with extensive use of the bright spots of Greek Literature, of which he was a profound connoisseur. The second Homilie, entitled “At the beginning of the Proverbs” (=at the beginning of the Proverbs of Solomon), pursues the same goal, but with the help of a text from the religious Secretariat. He wants to prove that Christians are not uneducated, as the pagan pagans accused them of. Using the first verses (of the “beginning”) of Proverbs, where wisdom is also spoken of, he convincingly emphasizes that Christian works are superior to the classical ones.
