So PC is pretty big on giving its students a well-rounded, inter-disciplinary education. If you're unaccostumed to relating your subjects to each other, it can be a strange thing to wrap your head around. I find it pretty interesting, however, and it happens to me several times a day--even outside of civ.

A few examples:

I started my theology class about Thomas Aquinas last week and began delving into his history and beliefs. At the same time, we began to read The Discarded Image, by C.S. Lewis, in Civ. Wouldn't you know that Aquinas is discussed in the book, as is his great teacher, Albertus Magnus (and, to add to this, one of the buildings here on campus is named after Albertus Magnus).

The text also spoke of the difference between a faith-based belief and a scientific explanation. This was a comparison I had just finished making for homework for my political science class, Empirical Analysis.

There are more, but it's lunch time...
