Author Description

"Prof. Schlesinger built the Christian Culture Program, later renamed Humanistic Studies (HuSt) at Saint Mary's College in South Bend, IN. These essays examine the impact of bruno's 60+ year teaching career and his 99 year life. Building on the ideas of Christopher Dawson's work and his radical new plan for an interdisciplinary curriculum, Bruno focused on Christian cultrual history - integrating Art, Policis, Histoyr, Theology and Philosophy; from Joan of Arc to the issues of the day. By recruiting contemporary thinkers, poets, historians, philosophers and theologians to speak at Sait Mary's College, Bruno brought ideas to life in the classroom."--Back cover.
