In A Worldview Guide to the Iliad, Dr. Scott Masson offers a compelling exploration of Homer’s ancient epic through the lens of a Christian worldview. Examining its timeless themes of honour, wrath, heroism, mortality, and the human condition, Masson invites readers to consider the deeper religious and philosophical assumptions that shape the world of the Iliad. By engaging critically with the moral ideals and cultural convictions of ancient Greece, this guide demonstrates how a distinctly biblical perspective can illuminate one of Western civilization’s most influential literary works. Accessible yet intellectually rigorous, it equips readers to appreciate the literary richness of Homer’s masterpiece while discerning the fundamental worldview questions that continue to shape human thought and culture.
The Worldview Campus Lectures, hosted by Cántaro Institute, bring together distinguished scholars, theologians, and Christian thinkers to explore theology, philosophy, science, history, literature, and culture through a distinctly biblical worldview. These lectures seek to equip Christians with a deeper understanding of God’s creation, strengthen their faith, and demonstrate the relevance of Scripture to every sphere of life.
