I read Dr. Eire's books They Flew, Eternity: a short history, and Reformations. Another angle on the same topics covered by Dr. Charles Taylor (A Secular Age) and Dr. Peter Harrison (Some New World).

Alberto and Carlos are so humble and kind but also incredibly gifted and intelligent, really getting to the heart of the Christian mystical experience. My husband and I have been devouring all the episodes and have learned so much. We are Greek Orthodox but just as enamored with these incredible Catholic saints and figures as we are by our beloved Church fathers.
