At Bethlehem College & Seminary we study the Great Books in light of the Greatest Book for the sake of the Great Commission. In this summer 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 suffering with Augustine, exploring the value of art with Tolkien, and reading the gospels with Viking Christian monks. Come and see.
