Re; "The Teaching Company"

Has anyone had experience with the series of college-level lectures produced by "The Teaching Company"?

They cover a whole range of subjects; from History to Philosophy, Science, Religion, etc.

I have purchased many of these series of lectures, and I have a question for anyone else who may have experienced them:

Do you notice a certain consistent bias in their Historical and Religious lectures? If so, what? I have my own view on this, but I would first like to hear what others think.

:D

1. Consistent bias is toward scientific skepticism . . .
. . . where it comes to religious lecturers. But I very much like that. Any of Bart Erdman's lectures on Christianity, its books and its history are terrific.

I haven't heard a bad set of The Teaching Company lectures yet. And I've heard probably a dozen or more of them over the years.

2. Thanks for your feedback Chomskyite...
...I just ordered 3 more series of lectures as quite a few are on sale now.

I have 5 of Ehrman's books, and one by his mentor, Metzger. I would love to take a course from him at UNC Chapel Hill.

:D
