Everyday Benefits
What makes each Ignatius Critical Editions title a resource for teachers? Besides the above, here are a few practical, everyday things that will make teaching a fuller and more manageable experience.
Why Traditional Criticism?
Tradition is the extension of Democracy through time; it is the proxy of the dead and the enfranchisement of the unborn.
