Absolutely fantastic!

What made the experience of listening to The Fall of the Pagans and the Origins of Medieval Christianity the most enjoyable?

This is a fantastic course that deals exactly with the subject described in the title. How has the process that transformed de mediterranean pagan world into a Christian empire that set the bases for the medieval western tradition?

Who was your favorite character and why?

Filled with great anecdotes that illustrate the lectures.

What about Professor Kenneth W. Harl’s performance did you like?

The presentation is very clear. Interesting and extremely well documented. The professor is very passionate about the subject. At the same time he delivers perfectly understandable explanations of the historical processes that led to this cultural and religious transformation.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It's simply great. One of the best great courses I've done.

Any additional comments?

I absolutely recommend this course to anyone interested in the subject.

The worst Great Courses I have ever done

Revisado: 12-03-15

Would you ever listen to anything by The Great Courses again?

Yes

Any additional comments?

This is a very long and tedious course about a fascinating subject: the middle ages.I have done lots of courses by the Great Courses and I generally love them all. Even when I have done several courses on the same subject but by different professors.Not this one. I didn't like the Professor's approach. I didn't like the fact that it sounds like she's reading all the time. She lacks the ability to make the course interesting. It is very long, (which is not necessarily a bad thing, but in this case it does not help), it covers a wide range of subjects on medieval history, life and culture, and even though some moments are better and some chapters (two or three) not bad, the whole course was for me very uninteresting and boring, a real shame since I love the subject and was looking for a course precisely on all the topics covered in this one.

A great work by the fantastic Bart Ehrman where he gives detailed account of all the evidence for the historicity of Jesus, against the "Myhthisist" point of view. Exactly the kind of study I was looking for. Many thanks to Porf. Ehrman for this work. The narrator is excellent.

This is a great course about the end of the middle ages and the beginnings of the renaissance. On the one hand it is a complicated and complex matter, there are many things to cover so it's kind a big summary on a very specific but rather big subject. This is no a story of names of kings and wars, but instead it is a very interesting approach on how society was changed, how the human mentality of middle ages was transformed in many aspects: social, cultural, economical, political, philosophical, etc. Prof. Ruiz is fantastic, very moving, emotional, telling many great stories and anecdotes. So you will not only learn about history, but also about many great writers, thinkers, philosophers and books that are to be read and known for personal development. This is more than a course of history, it is also a course of culture. The best is the personality and passion of the very great Prof. Ruiz. Thanks to him for all his devotion and clarity.
