Non-Credit Course | The Bible and the Big Bang

Gavin House 1220 E 58th St. Chicago, IL 60637, Hyde Park, IL
Fr. Adam Hincks, SJ, University of Toronto

What is the relation between the Bible and the Big Bang? To many, it seems natural to connect the physical beginning of the cosmos with the Abrahamic doctrine of creation, but this association of science with philosophy and theology bears critical investigation. In this course, we will take a deep dive into both the science of the early Universe and the Biblically-rooted doctrine of creation from nothing, and explore what, if any, is the relation between them. Along the way we will engage with thinkers spanning from Philo of Alexandria in the first century to Stephen Hawking in the twenty-first century, and will explore topics such as the beginning of time, something coming from ‘nothing’, fine-tuning and design.

Reading Course on The Drama of Atheist Humanism

Gavin House 1220 E 58th St. Chicago, IL 60637, Hyde Park, IL

Is dependency on God an obstacle to human freedom?  Is authentic human autonomy compromised by religious faith?  Nietzsche and Dostoevsky epitomize the fundamental option that confronts anyone seeking truth and the meaning of life.  Henri de Lubac’s The Drama of Atheist Humanism sets out their worldviews, the consequences of which continue to reverberate in our post-modern, post-truth culture.  You are invited to engage with this classic text that casts light on contemporary nihilism at odds with the persistence of religious faith.

Dante’s Divine Comedy Graduate Reading Group

Gavin House 1220 E 58th St. Chicago, IL 60637, Hyde Park, IL

This winter quarter, become our traveling companion as we continue a pilgrimage of unforgettable cosmic and spiritual grandeur through Dante Alighieri’s Commedia. Having passed through the horrors of hell, our poet-protagonist turns to pondering questions of love, virtue, grace, and divine providence as he journeys along Mount Purgatory’s breathtaking vistas, through the otherworldly astral spheres, into the bosom of the eternal Church Triumphant with his trusted guides: Virgil, Beatrice, and the “last of the fathers,” Bernard of Clairvaux – who, in the mystical climax of this crowning achievement of European literature, brings Dante before the throne of the living God.
