The Great Saints: 5 Doctors of the Church Who Shaped Christianity

These are saints you will want to meet. Through this series by the dean of Fordham University's Graduate School of Religion, you will be introduced to the lives and impacts of five great medieval doctors. Along the way you will explore one of the most consequential and interesting periods of Catholic history. Get to know Gregory the Great; Catherine of Siena, one of only four female doctors; Peter Damian; Bonaventure; and Bernard of Clairvaux. Be inspired by five of Christianity's greatest examples of faith, learning and wisdom. This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.
