Continuing an Ancient Tradition In the early days of Christianity, when the first intellectuals became converts, a strong tradition of "Faith seeking understanding" was begun.

They are aimed at mature religious leaders, the kind who were the students of the Author for almost three decades in Berkeley at the Graduate Theologial Union.
