SUMMARY:“The Book of Genesis” Non-Credit Course
DESCRIPTION:Intended for university students\, faculty\, and recent graduates. Others interested in attending\, please contact info@lumenchristi.org \nThursday\, January 13\nGenesis 1-2: “Creation: Grace upon Grace” \nIf the Hebrew word for God were treated as an unknown (so that we learned its meaning from the text\, instead of bringing our catechism with us to the reading)\, these verses would by themselves teach us most of the Divine Attributes. We are told of the creation of heaven and earth\, the creation of man in the image of God\, the naming of the beasts\, the presentation of the woman and her namegiving\, and the nuptial meaning of the one flesh. To be discussed: what authority does the text of Genesis claim for itself? \nThursday\, January 20\nGenesis 3-4: “Downfall” \nGod places the man into a garden He had planted. Prohibition\, temptation\, sacrifice\, and homicide make their appearance. What are we to understand by prohibition\, sin\, lying\, and shame as conveyed by the text? \nThursday\, January 27\nGenesis 5-11: “The Sign of the Covenant” \nGod resolves to destroy “all flesh” by the flood. What does it mean for God to annihilate His own Creation? What does the righteousness of Noah consist in and what is the meaning of the covenant? What was the sin of the builders of the tower of Babel\, and how does the sacred author understand their abasement? \nThursday\, February 3\nGenesis 12-22: “Abraham: Reckoned unto Him as Righteousness” \nThe story of Abraham and Sarah is the story of a divine promise\, which is at once a burden and a source of hope. What is meant to be taught by Abraham’s obedience in the sacrifice of Isaac? To be discussed: does the Old Testament understand faith as a virtue? \nThursday\, February 17\nGenesis 23-36: “The Sorrows of the Patriarchs” \nAbraham\, Isaac\, and Jacob are not held up to us as men whose character and moral conduct are to be imitated. Their patriarchy is accorded its value not in virtue of heroism or holiness\, yet is seen most clearly in adversity. To be discussed: within its own limits\, what does the Book of Genesis understand by “Israel”?

SUMMARY:“Eriugena: The Medieval Irish Genius Between Augustine and Aquinas”
DESCRIPTION:The Carolingian thinker Johannes Scottus Eriugena (810-877CE) is the author of numerous philosophical and theological works. Most famous among them is the Periphyseon or On Natures (864-866CE)\, a metaphysical dialogue drawing on the Greek and Latin patristic and classical traditions. Having been falsely condemned because of pantheism in 1225\, Eriugena was only seriously studied in the twentieth century\, which saw a major effort to complete all the critical editions of his works (until 2005). With all the modern tools in place\, it is time to map out a vista of what the tradition of medieval Western thought would have looked like\, had he not been excised from it. For Eriugena is by all accounts the most interesting and systematic thinker between Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. \nWhat Eriugena has in common with Augustine (354-430CE) is his deep attention to creation and to exegesis as the prime vehicle for conveying his ideas about it. Eriugena was familiar with Augustine’s interpretation of Genesis as well as with that of Gregory of Nyssa\, and he seems to have situated himself deliberately in between them. The latter half of his major work On Natures is cast entirely as a commentary on Genesis but exegesis was for Eriugena\, just like for Augustine\, also a vehicle for speculative thought. \nWith Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274CE) Eriugena has in common a deep interest in precise epistemological analysis: what can and cannot be known by the human mind\, and how do we distinguish the reach of the mind from the infinity of the divine? Here Eriugena daringly incorporates the negative theology of Pseudo-Dionysius in what is an unusual definition of nature. While we cannot know the divine\, as he transcends the human mind\, Eriugena still considers God an integral part of natura\, and it is through the via negativa that he wants to approach the divine. \nWith both Augustine and Aquinas Eriugena shares an attachment to the mystical structure ofexitus and reditus\, or procession and return\, as his intellectual journey ultimately parallels a mystical quest\, that of the soul on its way to salvation. Where Eriugena is most unlike Augustine and Aquinas\, however\, is in the neglect that has befallen his thought as opposed to theirs. It is time for a reappraisal\, therefore\, or rather\, time for a first integral appraisal of the thought of John Scottus Eriugena.

SUMMARY:A Philosophical Reading of the Prodigal Son
DESCRIPTION:While the parable of the prodigal son has traditionally been read as a story about a wayward son in need of repentance or the conflict of two siblings over their just treatment\, Hart will suggest that the father is the central character of the narrative. The phenomenological tradition is employed to shift the theological perspective of the parable toward a vision of the kingdom of God imagined through the forgiveness and unconditional love of the Father. This lecture was co-sponsored by the University of Chicago Theology Workshop.
