SUMMARY:Suffering and Everyday Life
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER BELOW\nLunch Provided | Coffee & Pastries Afterwards \nThis event is designated for current graduate & advanced undergraduate students and faculty from the University of Chicago & regional colleges and universities. Others interested in auditing should contact William Hurley at whurley@lumenchristi.org. \nSuffering emerged in modernity as one of the great challenges to faith. Whereas creation opens our eyes to the existence of God\, to his wisdom\, power and greatness\, “evil and suffering seem to obscure this image\, sometimes in a radical way.” These words are from Pope John Paul II’s apostolic letter Salvifici Doloris\, a concise meditation on the Christian answer to the problem of suffering. Granted\, suffering\, from the Latin\, suffero\, “to undergo\,” is a formidable word that we tend to associate with intense pain or great tragedy. But it also includes everyday experiences of disappointment\, loss\, failure\, rejection\, humiliation\, and even despair. We want to explore these trials too: for to answer the question of their why?\, we must also turn to the One who suffered. \nSchedule\n\n1:00 p.m.   Lunch\n1:15 p.m.   Session Begins\n2:30 p.m.   End – Coffee & Pastries\n\nSyllabus\nPope John Paul II’s apostolic letter\, Salvifici Doloris (22 pages) \nJoseph E. Davis\, Introduction\, Chemically Imbalanced (17 pages) \n  \nThis project is made possible through the support of In Lumine Tuo: Expanding and Sustaining the Catholic Intellectual Tradition Nationwide (grant #63614) from the John Templeton Foundation and the generous support of our donors. \n  \n\n\n \n\n \nAbout Master Classes\nEach quarter\, the Lumen Christi Institute hosts a master class at Gavin House (1220 E 58th St.). A master class is a seminar in miniature\, in which top scholars introduce students to a major figure or concept in the Catholic intellectual tradition. The session contain a mixture of lecture\, seminar discussion\, and close reading. All participants are provided a copy of the text under consideration. Any student interested in a shared reading of a great text is welcome to join. No religious affiliation is necessary.
