Dr. Henry Russell is headmaster of </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">St. Augustine Homeschool Enrichment Program</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and author of </span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Catholic Shakespeare Audio Series</span></em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These 16 lectures are both deeply Catholic and highly intellectual, but eminently accessible to high school students.&nbsp;</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These ancient texts and the world view they represent are part of the pre-Christian era and so lack the revelation of Jesus Christ. However, because men of all times and places are made for God, all civilizations reveal the pursuit of truth and represent it in partial glimpses. Ancient Roman texts such as the </span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aeneid</span></em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> often transcend their time and even pave the way for the fullness of truth found in the Catholic faith.&nbsp;</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This course explores those partial truths in the light of Christ, which allows us to deepen our understanding of the ancient world from which Western Civilization sprang. Not only are the core philosophies of this course Catholic, and the aim of its exploration aligned with the Faith and revelation, but Dr. Russell also begins every lecture in prayer. Through this ancient text, the course forms students in both mind and heart for a deeper love and appreciation of God&rsquo;s promise of the Redeemer and his incarnation as man.&nbsp;</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Russell also trains students in the art of rigorous conversation with literary texts, making this series, when coupled with TAN&rsquo;s High School Ancient Literature lesson plan, a college-preparatory experience. The course covers Virgil&rsquo;s </span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aeneid </span></em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in its entirety while analyzing key themes such as:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The historical and spiritual significance of the text</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The </span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aeneid</span></em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a typological prefiguration of the Catholic Faith</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Man&rsquo;s need for conformity to God&rsquo;s will</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The role of the divine in human government.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&rsquo;t miss this exciting journey into the foundations of our civilization!&nbsp;</span></p>\n<p><strong>Lectures</strong></p>\n<ol>\n<li>Seven Reasons to Study the Aeneid</li>\n<li>Punic, Social, and Civil Wars</li>\n<li>The Wrath and Promise of Heaven</li>\n<li>Troy versus Greece and Impossible Tasks</li>\n<li>Fated Futures and Nation Before Family</li>\n<li>The Great Wanderings</li>\n<li>The Perils of Passion</li>\n<li>The Glory of Games</li>\n<li>The Burning of Ships</li>\n<li>Avernus and Places of Justice</li>\n<li>Blessed Groves, Punishment, and Communion</li>\n<li>Unholy War and the Beginning of the <em>Iliad</em></li>\n<li>The Greeks and the Glory of the Shield</li>\n<li>Friendship, Folly, and Bloodlust</li>\n<li>Fate, Freewill, and Death</li>\n<li>Sorrow, Peace, and Glory</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>Lecture Sample</strong></p>\n<p><a id=\"sample_video\"></a>\n<script src=\"https://fast.wistia.com/embed/medias/3z8vmm3rgb.jsonp\" async=\"\"></script>\n<script src=\"https://fast.wistia.com/assets/external/E-v1.js\" async=\"\"></script>\n</p>\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0;

Dr. Henry Russell joins TAN Academy in presenting Virgil's Aeneid: The Founding of Nations in the Will of God. Dr. Henry Russell is headmaster of St. Augustine Homeschool Enrichment Program and author of The Catholic Shakespeare Audio Series. These 16 lectures are both deeply Catholic and highly intellectual, but eminently accessible to high school students. 

These ancient texts and the world view they represent are part of the pre-Christian era and so lack the revelation of Jesus Christ. However, because men of all times and places are made for God, all civilizations reveal the pursuit of truth and represent it in partial glimpses. Ancient Roman texts such as the Aeneid often transcend their time and even pave the way for the fullness of truth found in the Catholic faith. 

This course explores those partial truths in the light of Christ, which allows us to deepen our understanding of the ancient world from which Western Civilization sprang. Not only are the core philosophies of this course Catholic, and the aim of its exploration aligned with the Faith and revelation, but Dr. Russell also begins every lecture in prayer. Through this ancient text, the course forms students in both mind and heart for a deeper love and appreciation of God’s promise of the Redeemer and his incarnation as man. 

Dr. Russell also trains students in the art of rigorous conversation with literary texts, making this series, when coupled with TAN’s High School Ancient Literature lesson plan, a college-preparatory experience. The course covers Virgil’s Aeneid in its entirety while analyzing key themes such as:

  • The historical and spiritual significance of the text
  • The Aeneid as a typological prefiguration of the Catholic Faith
  • Man’s need for conformity to God’s will
  • The role of the divine in human government.

Don’t miss this exciting journey into the foundations of our civilization!
