This volume is a collection of essays by various contributors in
honor of the late Laurence Berns, Richard Hammond Elliot Tutor
Emeritus at St. John's College, Annapolis. The essays address the
literary, political, theological, and philosophical themes of his
life's work as a scholar, teacher, and constant companion of the
"great books." Included are essays interpreting biblical books, as
well as books by Homer, Herodotus, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides,
Plato, Virgil, Dante, Spinoza, Milton, Rousseau, Darwin,
Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, Camus, and H.G. Wells. Like their honoree,
the essayists aim at understanding such books as their authors
wished them to be understood-for the light they shed on universal
and timeless questions about God, nature, and human life which
animated the authors themselves and which they saw fit to share,
elegantly and eloquently, with thoughtful readers. Each essay is,
in its way, a model of how to read and reflect on the writings of
the great authors.
