D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths III: Implications for How to Live

The way in which we choose to live will be affected by whether we live with Greek outlook or a Jewish one. Together, we’ll discover answers to the following questions:

1. According to the pagan mentality, why do people suffer? What does the Bible say about suffering?
2. How did the pagans define good and evil and how does that impact the ways in which they conducted their lives?
3. How does the Greek notion of tragedy give rise to the idea that man should take responsibility for his own life?
