Free lectures from The Teaching Company: Einstein's 100th "Anniversary" and Fact and Fiction in The DaVinci Code


The Teaching Company sells very high quality recorded lectures by noted and engaging university professors, audio and video, for lifelong learning. When Pope John Paul II died, they made available for free download, two lectures on the history and procedures of the conclave.

Until July 31, 2005, they're now making available a pair of two-part lectures, one of the pair on 1905: Einstein's 'miraculous' year and on relativity (the general theory, I suppose), and the other two-part lecture on Fact and Fiction in The DaVinci Code and 'the formation of the Christian Bible, Jesus' relationship with Mary Magdalene, and the role of the emperor Constantine in shaping the religion of the historical Jesus.'
