AFTER CLASS at Benedictine College is a conversation show between real students and real professors. Hosts Trey Smith and Collin England are guided by a central question, "What is the good life, and how do I live it after college?"

Their first guest is Dr. Andrew Swafford. Dr. Swafford is professor of theology at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. He is the author of, "Lunatic, Liar, or Lord: Unveiling the Truth of Catholicism with C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity." and coauthor of, "A Catholic Guide to the Old Testament," and, "A Catholic Guide to the New Testament." With his wife, Sarah Swafford, he is coauthor of, "Gift and Grit: How Heroic Virtue Can Change Your Life and Relationships." He also coauthored "What We Believe: The Beauty of the Catholic Faith with Marcellino D’Ambrosio."

Heir to the 1500 years of Benedictine dedication to learning, Benedictine College’s mission as a Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts, residential college is the education of men and women within a community of faith and scholarship.
