I recently heard Edwin speakat a L'Abri seminar in Sydney. He mentions much of the stuff he talks about here. He majored a lot on Greek philosophy and its influence if any on the shaping of our western world. These lectures are available from L'Abri Australia and make a great addition to these lectures. Go hard Delta Force!

Excellent videos. Now I know who that well dressed elderly man who I saw on campus over the Easter break is.
