Virgil's Aeneid: The Founding of Nations in the Will of God

Taught by Dr. Henry Russell · TAN Academy

Overview

Virgil's Aeneid: The Founding of Nations in the Will of God invites students into one of the greatest literary masterpieces of Western civilization through an unmistakably Catholic lens. In sixteen engaging lectures, classical educator Dr. Henry Russell demonstrates how Virgil's epic poem not only shaped Roman culture but also points beyond itself toward the fulfillment of history in Jesus Christ.

Although the Aeneid was written before the coming of Christ, it reflects humanity's universal longing for truth, justice, sacrifice, and redemption. Dr. Russell carefully distinguishes the limitations of the pagan worldview while revealing how its highest aspirations prepare the way for the Gospel. Through typology, philosophy, history, and theology, students learn to recognize God's providential hand even within the greatest works of the ancient world.

Designed for high school students and families, this college-preparatory course cultivates careful reading, thoughtful discussion, and rigorous literary analysis while remaining deeply rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition. Every lecture begins in prayer and encourages students to see classical literature as an opportunity to deepen both their intellect and their love for Christ.

What This Course Offers:

  • A Complete Study of the Aeneid: Explore Virgil's epic across sixteen comprehensive lectures.
  • A Catholic Interpretation of the Classics: Examine pagan literature in light of Sacred Scripture, Church teaching, and Christ's fulfillment of history.
  • College-Preparatory Literary Analysis: Learn to read, discuss, and interpret great texts with intellectual rigor.
  • Historical and Philosophical Formation: Understand the foundations of Roman civilization and its lasting influence on the Christian West.

Course Highlights

Throughout the series, students examine many of the Aeneid's central themes, including the rise of nations, divine providence, sacrifice, free will, justice, heroism, and the relationship between earthly authority and God's eternal plan. Dr. Russell continually connects these themes to Catholic theology, demonstrating how the highest achievements of classical civilization ultimately find their fulfillment in Christ.
