If you haven't yet discovered iTunesU, it is a wonderful resource of information and learning. I particularly recommend that you visit Reformed Theological Seminary's iTunesU page. Lots of free stuff on Reformed theology and history. There are two offerings you simply must commit to listen to.
First, search for Dr. J.I. Packer's History and Theology of the Puritans. These 17 lectures were recorded in 1988 by the venerable evangelical Anglican whose book, Knowing God, is a modern Christian classic. Packer debunks the myths told about the Puritans by their detractors in the Church of England and spells out the rich legacy they bequeathed to us in theology and practical application of the Scriptures to holy living in the real world. The recordings are not high definition by any means, but the content is high quality and well worth your listening and devotional attention.
Second, you might want to check out the class on C. S. Lewis by Dr. Knox Chamblin. Twenty seven pod-casts take you through the story of his life, his theology, and his ethics. And it's all free! You can register and take the courses for credit, too.
I turn off the radio in my car and listen to these inspirational and informative lectures as I drive. Turn off the TV for one night a week and train your mind in the richness of God's love and purpose for our lives. The Puritans would be proud (but only in the right sense of the word). ;-)
