    *

    NY Adult Ed group felt that Prof O’Connor shared her faith with us. We loved the Interview with her and her honesty. She went slowly enough and was not afraid to state when she was still thinking about it The group have asked me if she has done any other programs.

  2. Fr. John

    Professor O’Connor brought a combination of scholarship and compassion to the section on Job.

    Professor O’Connor brought a combination of scholarship and compassion to the section on Job and the subject of suffering. One can tell how authentic she is about her faith.

    Engaging and listenable

    Speaker was engaging and “listenable.” I appreciated the Book of Job far more after listening to this course, and for the first time understood its structure.
