“The motif of Greek Letters and Orthodoxy is well expressed by a statement made a century ago (1903) by Professor Thaddeus Zielinsky of St. Petersburg University, and appears in the book Our Debt to Antiquity by H.A. Strong and Hugh Steward[...]. Professor Zielinsky says: ‘We cannot separate the idea of Christianity from that of classical culture. In the first place, because Greek is the language of the Oldest Christian writings.... We cannot understand Christianity without studying its Greek records.’”
