Madelaine
Student
"What Dr. Litwa offers is an academic level of study in courses that would be impossible to get in most colleges or universities, without moving to the very few places that do specialize in these topics. For myself, in my desire to pursue this line of study in an academic setting, the addition of Dr. Litwa’s classes give my own studies the lens that I have been looking for."
Lisa
Student
"Dr. David Litwa is like having a wise friend who's always there to help you unravel the mysteries of ancient texts and religious studies. He's incredibly patient and kind, and he doesn't just tell you things – he helps you understand them. With his sharp insights and talent for cutting through the confusion, Dr. Litwa clears up misconceptions sadly all too common in the study of early Christianity."
