THE LIVES OF GREAT CHRISTIANS

For several years I have been able to buy and use a number of "Great Courses" produced by the Teaching Company. Currently I am reading and listening to a 24 lecture course entitled "The Lives of Great Christians" taught by Professor William R. Cook of the State University of New York at Geneseo. Prof. Cook has introduced me to ways of considering the lives of these men and women that is fresh and exciting and adds much to my understanding of Christianity and my Roman Catholic Church. Although Prof. Cook places himself amo,ng "practicing Catholics" he does not limit his choices of great christians to Catholics. Martin Luther, the brothers Wesley, and Dietrrich Bonhoeffer receive sympathtic treatment. Although I have been able to purchase many of the courses, our local library in Crockett as access to many of the courses.
