Fr. Koterski has written for us in the past (click here and here for two reviews). Last year I attended his Wetherfield lectures on St. Augustine’s City of God and found him to be one of the best teachers I have ever encountered, a professor whose love of God and love of study radiate in his lectures and answers to questions. If you are in New York and interested at all in Newman, consider attending the series.
