I absolutely love these presentations. I was posted In England for 3 years in the early 80s while in the military and wished I had spent my free time more productively and taken courses on these subjects. I’m grateful to the University of Nottingham for sharing these wonderful videos. Love from Austin, Texas.

I very much appreciate the enlightened EMMET of this video. Fantastic! Well done. Thanks you so very much. In the Chist. Be Blessed. Shalom Macarius K. NH, USA

I have only watched a handful of these so far. I am impressed with all of you involved. I have learned and, I hope, will continue to learn a lot about the faith I cast off in early adulthood but have been wondering of late if maybe I might not have made the wrong choice. I think that watching these videos will play a major role in my thinking about what the meaning of life is.

We hope to make a video on Basil the Great in the near future; in the meantime, why not start by reading his 'On the Holy Spirit' - it is one of his most accessible works!

Thank you Professors for this beautiful introduction. I would appreciate it if you could recommend some original christian texts for reading from Basil the Great whom you mentioned or others .Thanks

I always get a kick out of hearing the old Protestant hymn, "Give me that old time religion." The composer and singers have no idea that they're referring to the Catholic Church.

I could not find anywhere on the internet and even on the translation that says the early Christians baptized three times. The translation proposed by most medias are that sprinkled or immerse three times.

Christianity is a community that produced texts

Well, the universe is dark precisely because light cannot be seen - rather, it is that thing thanks to which we see other things. And it is never light that you see, but rather thanks to light you see the objects which reflect or emit it. (Imagine if light was visible. You'd turn on the light in your room and the room would be flooded with that "visible light" like with some sort of thick soup, and you couldn't see anything. Fortunately, light itself is not visible.)
