Congrats, William! If my parish were a bit bigger, I'd be tempted to get a set and do the whole series, maybe as an evening thing. If you wanted a a slightly different audience, could you do maybe a shorter series, one half hour on each theologian and a sum up and/or introduction? I would think many parishes might offer a nine or ten-week series as one of their Sunday offerings. Heck, we might even do that.
Yeah, there's a definite church-series market that isn't quite the same market as the one TTC is going for, but is in the neighborhood. A 24-lecture series is clearly too much. Some entrepreneurial type could probably make some money, and do a service to the Church, by producing the right sorts of videos on church history, great theologians, that sort of thing. Maybe someone's already done that and I just don't know about it.
I'm actually a priest now, but I've been calling myself "The Postulant" for so long that I've grown attached to the identity, and I think I'll keep it for a while yet. I'm a professor of philosophy and religious studies, specializing in medieval Christian philosophy. I'm a Rite-One-loving, Anglican-chant-singing, Nicene-Creed-believing homosexual -- a Hobartian as a matter of conviction and a ritualist as a matter of taste.

P.S.
I'm clearly getting a little too casual about this secret-identity business. I may have to rethink some things.
So why not you? Academics can be entrepreneurial, after all :-)
Cheers,
Bob
