I am very interested in the subject, and I do not know very much about it. Dr. Madden is so knowledgeable and the material and the way he presents it so interesting, I am thrilled that he does this multi part Series.
An outstanding series on the Popes, their influences, their contributions and their various historical contexts.

This was an excellent overview course. It was very comprehensive with the right amount of detail. Very thorough.
I took this course because I loved Tom Madden's book on Istanbul--Tom did not disappoint. He is a great teacher. Good mix of insightful scholarship & practical storytelling. Very knowledgeable and could easily related topic to the general history surrounding the popes. Kept my interest throughout the 8 weeks. Engaging. Highly recommended. Best compliment I can give is that I am taking his two courses beginning in September.
