Course Description: This course is based on the teacher's latest work "Hostile Witnesses: How the Historic Enemies of the Church Prove Christianity." We will look at the ancient enemies of Catholicism from early pagan historians, rabbinical writings, anti-Christian apologists, and even members of the Nazi party to see how they unintentionally affirm certain key truths about Christ and His Church.
