A study of the classical humanities gives thc hackgronnd of Latin and Creek thought to thc student.

The inllucncc ol Latin and Crcck on inodcrn cnllurcs is also studied. By studying Latin and Crcck, thc classical languages, an understanding and hasis for niodcrn languagcs is developed. In addition, studying lhc classics 'prepares the theological or scicnlilic studcnt for intcnsivc slndy and research in his field.
