expositions-1952	none	Pre-Christian Classics in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition	2015	6	.pdf	application/pdf	2837	89	52	*** As I considered what would be the right or best way to incorporate pre-Christian truths into a curriculum otherwise dominated by Christian works, or indeed, how more generally to fit ancient and more modern ideas together in a way that does justice to both, a Pauline quotation came to me, “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law” (Galatians 4:4). This setting does pose different challenges for these pre-Christian works (and these apply equally or more so to those non-Western, non-Christian works I have likewise often taught at these institutions), because the temptation is always to treat them as partial revelation, as it were, imperfect expressions of the fuller, Christian truth that would come later (or elsewhere).	cache/expositions-1952.pdf	txt/expositions-1952.txt
