Why You Need the New Saint Thomas Institute TODAY (Ends Tomorrow!)

When Dr. Taylor Marshall launched the New Saint Thomas Institute last October, I couldn’t have been more excited. It’s so innovative. Using the power of new media, he created a private membership community where people could take college courses in theology and philosophy for less than $1 per day (that’s just 2% of what a typical college course costs!).

I’ve been part of the Institute since the beginning both as a Member and as a special interview guest. The content is top notch and professionally produced. I don’t think there’s a better bargain in the world of Catholic graduate education.

Taylor recently sat down with me to discuss New Saint Thomas Institute and why you need to sign up TODAY to receive your special bonuses before enrollment closes tomorrow.
 

 
BRANDON: Why did you decide to start New Saint Thomas Institute? What sets it apart from other Catholic schools?

TAYLOR MARSHALL: I received emails for years from Catholics asking the same question: “How can I learn Catholic theology and philosophy?” Most people are not able to pay the high tuition at local Catholic universities. They are also not ready to move to a different location to pursue studies. So we created a solution that was cost-effective (our tuition is about 2% that of larger institutions) and that is time-honoring. We have over 1,000 Members and they consist of business men, young mothers, monks, nuns, priests, deacons, retired grandparents, doctors, and college students. We are also in over 24 nations.

BRANDON: What type of content do you share through New Saint Thomas Institute?

TAYLOR MARSHALL: We share video lessons in HD quality and audio MP3 lessons. I also host a monthly podcast called “Ox Talk” (in honor of St. Thomas Aquinas, the so-called “Dumb Ox”) where I answer the “hard questions” that student Members have within the New Saint Thomas Institute.

BRANDON: Why does the average Catholic need a solid grounding in theology and philosophy?

TAYLOR MARSHALL: We live in a time of increased secularity. Members are interested in defending their Catholic faith and sharing it with friends and family. Anyone who feels inadequate or confused about sharing their Catholic faith should consider joining the New Saint Thomas Institute.

We cover topics ranging from Thomas Aquinas, Augustine, the Blessed Mother, Christology, and atheism. In fact, you recently gave a GREAT three-part interview on sharing the faith with atheists (watch sample here). I think your readers would really like the content we offer and grow through it.

BRANDON: Much of your teaching centers on the work of St. Thomas Aquinas. Why is he so pivotal to Catholic thought?

TAYLOR MARSHALL: We named the Institute after Saint Thomas Aquinas. We call it the “New” Saint Thomas Institute because we are trying to amplify the New Evangelization by promoting the “Old Evangelization” represented by the theological genius of Saint Thomas Aquinas. Saint Thomas was interested in engaging with ancient pagan philosophy, but as a Dominican he was a preacher for his times. We find Thomas engaging heretics, Muslims, Jews, and atheists in his writings. We want our student Members to do the same with the help of Thomas Aquinas.

BRANDON: The New Saint Thomas Institute enrollment window closes in just one day. Why should people sign up now and what bonuses will they receive??

TAYLOR MARSHALL: As you mentioned, we are closing Fall enrollment on October 14 at 11:59pm CT. Those who join before October 14 will receive instant access, 38% off our already ridiculously low tuition, have a 21-day full money back guarantee, and get several bonuses including my books The Crucified Rabbi and Thomas Aquinas in 50 Pages. We are also adding the bonus of a “Catholic Bible Cheat Sheet” that Members can print out and place in their Bibles. It has all the verses they need to defend nearly every Catholic teaching. We are also adding bonus MP3s on Saint Joseph, How to Pray the Rosary Daily, and an Introduction to Logic. There are even more bonuses listed and explained at NewSaintThomas.com.

I really think that the New Saint Thomas Institute is a game changer for the Catholic online education. It is a living community of Catholics all over the world. Where else can you study orthodox, magisterial Catholic theology for less than a dollar a day – with Chinese Catholics, British Catholics, Australian Catholics, and Brazilian Catholics, etc.?

So check out the New Saint Thomas Institute and don’t miss the joining cut off date tomorrow (October 14) at 11:59pm CT.
