Praise for Dr. Mahfood
“Sebastian Mahfood is an engaging, enthusiastic lecturer with a probing interest in everything from medieval literature and theology to post-modern Arab writings. He developed an online course on Dante’s Divine Comedy, which was enthusiastically received. I am happy to see that this course will now be available to the general public.” – Rev. Msgr. Michael John Witt, Kenrick-Glennon Seminary
