Dr. Cuddeback holds a PhD from the Catholic University of America and has taught for 25 years here at Christendom College in the Philosophy Department. He is the author of the book, "True Friendship", where virtue becomes happiness, and a lay Dominican. He is an avid gardener and hunter.

In this Principles Live Lecture, Dr. Cuddeback explains that life is about relationship. One of the most important relationships that we ultimately have are friendships. We are most ultimately called to friendship with God. This, to Dr. Cuddeback, is the main reason to be so interested and so concerned to understand well the nature of friendship. To understand the nature of friendship is really at the heart of understanding why God created us, and will be the key to living in unison with other human persons.
