About This Podcast

The Collegium Institute for Catholic Thought and Culture invites visiting scholars and faculty authors of new work that helps us to appreciate the shape of life today, both in its dynamism and its timelessness. Here we approach the mysteries of reality with wonder from multiple disciplinary angles, all centered on a commitment to truth. Here authors make their case for how and why their books are important, not just for specialists in their field, but for all of us who seek wisdom for a life well-lived.
