Taste & See: Sampling an Education in Serious Joy

Share

At Bethlehem College & Seminary we study the Great Books in light of the Greatest Book for the sake of the Great Commission. In this winter series, join Bethlehem professors as they offer a taste of a Bethlehem education. Whether you’re a prospective, incoming, or returning student, you won’t regret spending a few weeks reflecting on possessions with Boethius, exploring morality with Mark Twain, and worldliness with C.S. Lewis. Come and see!
