Ep. 3 – Ten Books That Shaped Our Education

In Episode 3, Scott Postma and Joffre Swait riff off of the humorous anecdote where Chesterton was asked which book he would want with him if ever stranded on a desert Island–Chesterton quickly answered, “Thomas’ Guide to Practical Shipbuilding”–and they discuss the top ten books they would recommend in a similar situation.

Joffre comes at this question from a personal standpoint and discusses the books that shaped his own education. Scott comes at it from both a personal and educator’s perspective, highlighting the books that not only shaped his thoughts, but books worth reading again and again, books every person should read in their lifetime.

Scott served as a minister for 20 years and as a Christian educator for 25 years. He earned degrees in the humanities (Ph.D. [ABD], Faulkner University), classical studies (M.A.C.C.S., Knox Theological Seminary), religion and English literature (B.S., Liberty University), and creative writing (A.A., College of Southern Nevada). He also earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree in theology from a former denominational institution back in the day.
