SUMMARY:Maximus the Confessor Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Mondays\, April 17- May 15\, 2023 | 4:30- 6:00 PM \nOpen to current students and faculty at the University of Chicago. Copies of the Ambigua will be provided. Participants can come to whichever sessions they choose. No previous knowledge of the subject-matter required. Non-students interested in participating should contact info@lumenchristi.org. Food and beverages will be provided.  \nMaximus the Confessor (580-662) is considered one of the most speculative and creative theologians from the first millennium of Christianity. Yet\, Maximus’s genius is at its most generative in conversation with the past. His largest work\, the Ambigua\, comments on difficult passages in the works of Gregory Nazianzen (4th century) and Dionysius the Areopagite (6th century). Maximus’ broad and deep thinking is on full display throughout this commentary\, responses to single passages becoming small treatises in their own right. \nThe Ambigua reveals Maximus’ wide ranging interests in metaphysics\, cosmology\, anthropology\, Christology\, language\, and time. His wide learning in all these areas are  put at the service of exploring these earlier Christian works. \nThis reading group seizes upon the insight gleaned from Maximus’ method: creativity is born from a rigorous engagement with the past. Through a reading of selected Ambigua\, we will explore his bold\, christological vision of the cosmos\, rooted in the deep reading of his priors. \nFood\, beverages\, and Greek/English copies of the Ambigua will be provided. \nSCHEDULE\nApril 17: Quid Ambigua? \n\n“Ambiguum 21\,” 421-447\nRecommended Reading:\n\n“Prologue to Ambigua to Thomas\,” 3-7\n“Prologue to Ambigua to John\,” 63-69\n\n\n\nApril 24: Trinity & Christology \n\n“Ambiguum 1\,” 7-11\n“Ambiguum 5\,” 31-59\n\nMay 1: Creation & Salvation \n\n“Ambiguum 7\,” Selections\n\nMay 8: Interpretation: Scripture & Cosmos \n\n“Ambiguum 10\,” Selections\n\nMay 15: The Practice of Theology \n\n“Ambiguum 13\,” 349-355
