Testimonials
John Dominic Crossan’s course was full of substance and wit. It was very well received by our group. The Justice Course was a perfect finishing touch on the theology work we had been pursuing over the past four years. Crossan put all the miscellaneous historic and theological research we’ve been doing over the years into an important clarifying theological perspective.
These courses produce an excitement that goes beyond mere intellectual stimulation. Repeatedly, after every session, everyone seems to pause before we leave and express thanks for having had the chance to participate.
I pass this love back to you for producing these great courses!
Thanks!
