Classical Christian schools prize logic, but often lack tools to connect ancient goals with contemporary clarity. This session shows how analytic philosophy—marked by precision and argument reconstruction—can strengthen logic instruction. Drawing from Thoroughness: An Analytic Classical Christian Guide to Formal Logic, we’ll see why Alvin Plantinga—not Aristotle—should be our modern model for training students to define terms, test arguments, and unite faith with reason for a life of wise service.

Benjamin Whittington has aPh.D. in Analytic Philosophy (Birmingham) and is the author of Thoroughness; Teacher of Latin and Logic.
