Transformations of Myth Through Time

In God, The Bible & Humanity, a five-hour course, Bishop Robert Barron explores the nature of God, the biblical narrative, and the life and teachings of Jesus Christ through the lens of Catholic theology. Drawing from the Old and New Testaments, he examines themes such as God's transcendence and immanence, the importance of right worship, spiritual liberation, and the roles of priest, prophet, and king. The course culminates in a profound reflection on the Sermon on the Mount and the transformative power of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.

In Maps of Meaning, a twelve-hour course, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson explores the foundations of human consciousness, perception, and the pursuit of meaning. Drawing from psychology, mythology, and neuroscience, he examines how we navigate the tension between order and chaos—not as passive observers, but as active participants guided by goals and values. Central to this exploration is the archetypal hero’s journey, which shows how voluntarily confronting suffering and taking responsibility can transform both the individual and society. Grounded in decades of research and personal experience, Dr. Peterson reveals how religious symbols, archetypal narratives, and social hierarchies shape both the individual mind and collective culture. Through powerful insights, the course demonstrates that proper orientation toward the highest good enables us to transform chaos into meaningful order.

In Ancient Philosophy, a seven-hour course, Dr. Orr takes us on an exploration of the rich history of ancient Greek thought, beginning with the foundational ideas of the Ionian and Eleatic schools and voyaging through the transformative philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. The course also examines the emergence of Stoicism and Epicureanism during the Hellenistic period, emphasizing their distinct approaches to ethics, nature, and the human condition. Throughout the course, we trace the evolution of pivotal concepts in metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics that have shaped Western thought for millennia, underscoring the enduring relevance and transformative power of ancient Greek philosophy in modern times.

In Introduction to Nietzsche, an eight-hour course, Dr. Peterson embarks on a deep exploration of the life, philosophy, and enduring influence of Friedrich Nietzsche. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, we examine how Nietzsche's ideas challenged traditional moral and philosophical foundations, paving the way for new perspectives on the human condition. The course delves into key concepts such as the will to power, the critique of truth and morality, and the affirmation of life in the face of nihilism, while also exploring Nietzsche's complex relationship with religion, academia, and the works of other thinkers. Ultimately, we are invited to confront uncomfortable realities, embrace necessary struggles, and cultivate the courage and gratitude needed to realize our full potential.
