Testimonials
I’m excited about the launch of the Paideia Center and the possibilities of studying great texts from the past for the sake of the present and the future of the Church.
Liam Goligher Senior Minister, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia
If you’re tired of watered-down, mass-marketed approaches to Christian discipleship, take a look at the Paideia Center for opportunities to drink deeply from the Christ-centered wisdom of classic patristic and Reformation-era texts. I’m delighted to hear about the work of the Paideia Center.
