N.T. Wright on Teaching Classics and Religion

Read it here: http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/nicholas_t_wright/2007/03/teach_the_classics_in_all_fiel.html

"How do you teach religion, given that this word covers everything from Russian Orthodox Christianity to New Age crystal-mongering? It is possible to teach it all from a secular point of view ('these are the peculiar things some peculiar people like to do and teach'), but that is about as much fun as taking a course on the history of music from someone who's tone deaf. " N.T. Wright
