“An extremely close reading of the relevant texts was incredibly helpful. The competing ideas responsible for decades of heresiological mud slinging would seem like textual minutia to me without a teacher – I would have completely missed them without the course.”

This course has been very beneficial to my quest for unadulterated knowledge of ancient Christianity. I am somewhat of a newbie to this area of study, so each text leads me to another discovery and yet they all lead back to the narrow path. I am grateful to have access to your knowledge and scholarly expertise, especially since I already have plenty of student loan debt from my nursing degrees. I have been motivated to write more and continue to dig for the truth. Thank you for this course.
