SUMMARY:“Reason and Wisdom in Medieval Christian Thought\,” Non-Credit Course
DESCRIPTION:Informal Dinner: 6:00PM\nLecture: 6:30PM \nIntended for University students\, faculty\, and recent graduates. Others interested in attending\, contact info@lumenchristi.org. \nWith the recovery of the works of Aristotle in the Latin West\, the development of the scholastic method of reasoning\, and the creation of the universities\, a style of academic philosophy and theology developed in the late medieval period in which the practice of reasoning about Christian revelation was developed independent of spirituality and\, often\, the search for wisdom. Previously\, in the works of the Church Fathers and the great monastic writers\, theology was rooted in a spiritual life uniting prayer and the search for understanding. \nThis course will consider the practice of dialectic reason within philosophy and theology and the potential consequences of scholastic method when loosed from spirituality\, the interior life\, and a life of wisdom. \nPAST SESSIONS: \nTuesday\, January 8:\nShameful Curiosity?

SUMMARY:Sacred Study Circle\, Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales
DESCRIPTION:Sacred study is the prayerful and attentive reading of a work with the initial goal of understanding it\, the intermediate goal of reflectively appropriating it\, and the final goal of making its teaching concrete in a life devoted to God. Sacred study is study because it puts ques­tions to the text\, as an apprentice questions the master\, so as to come to grips with the deeper meanings. With these aims we will study St. Francis de Sales’s Introduction to the Devout Life this winter quarter. In this classic work of spirituality the reader is presented with counsels and practices to aid him in deepening his hunger for God while overcoming the obstacles that impede his progress in moral integrity and spiritual wisdom. \nThe Sacred Study Circle will meet weekly\, covering a minimal amount of text each week. Fr. Paul Mankowski\, S.J.\, scholar-in-residence at the Lumen Christi Institute\, will guide participants in a reflective discussion of the text. Each session will meet at Gavin House\, 1220 East 58th Street on Mondays from 4-5PM. While participants are encouraged to attend every session\, this is not required. Copies of the book will be provided. We will be using the 400th Anniversary Edition\, Eremitical Press\, 2009. \nREGISTER HERE\nSchedule \nJanuary 14: Counsels concerning the soul’s first aspiration to the devout life.\n(Pt.1\, Ch.6-22\, pp.26-51) \nJanuary 21: Counsels concerning the soul’s firm resolution to pursue the devout life.\n(Pt.2\, Ch.1-9\, pp.55-66) \nJanuary 28: Counsels concerning the practice of virtue.\n(Pt.3.\, Ch.1-5\, pp.91-106\,119-126) \nFebruary 4: Counsels concerning poverty of spirit amid riches.\n(Pt.3\, Ch.14-16\, 37-38\, pp.127-133\, 175-178) \nFebruary 11: Counsels concerning true and false friendship. (Pt.3\, Ch.17-22\, pp.133-146) \nFebruary 18: Counsels concerning commonly experienced temptations.\n(Pt.4\, Ch.1-10\, 13-14\, pp.191-204\, 209-219) \nFebruary 25: Counsels concerning renewal of the soul in devotion.\n(Pt.5\, Ch.1-6\, 18\, pp.223-230\, 240-241) \nSacred study is intended for university students and faculty. Please contact Mark Franzen at mfranzen@lumenchristi.org with any questions.

SUMMARY:Book Symposium on "Francis of Assisi: A New Biography
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Department of History and the Medieval Studies Workshop\nwith\nAugustine Thompson\, O.P.\, Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology\, Berkeley\nKaren Scott\, DePaul University\nLawrence Cunningham\, University of Notre Dame \nIn this authoritative and engaging new biography\, Augustine Thompson\, O.P.\, sifts through the surviving evidence for the life of Francis using modern historical methods. The result is a complex yet sympathetic portrait of the man and the saint. Francis emerges from this account as very much a typical thirteenth-century Italian layman\, but one who\, when faced with unexpected crises in his personal life\, made decisions so radical that they challenge his own society and ours. Unlike the saint of legend\, this Francis never had a unique divine inspiration to provide him with rules for following the teachings of Jesus. Rather\, he spent his life reacting to unexpected challenges\, before which he often found himself unprepared and uncertain. The Francis who emerges here is both more complex and more conflicted than that of older biographies.

SUMMARY:"Francis of Assisi: Lost Between Myth and History"
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Department of History and the Medieval Studies Workshop \nAmong the most beloved of saints\, Francis of Assisi is celebrated for his dedication to poverty\, his love of nature\, and his desire to follow perfectly the teachings and example of Christ. His followers compiled numerous\, often legendary\, accounts. The man and his own concerns seem lost to view. Fr. Augustine Thompson\, O.P. will speak on the “Quest for the Historical Francis” and attempt to portray beyond the legends the man who was Francis of Assisi.

SUMMARY:Master Class on St. Francis of Assisi: “How to Write a Biography of a Medieval Saint”
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Medieval Studies Workshop \nIn his new book\, Francis of Assisi: A New Biography\, Augustine Thompson\, O.P.\, sifts through the surviving evidence for the life of Francis using modern historical methods. The Francis who emerges here is both more complex and more conflicted than that of older biographies. This one-day master class will consider whether the historical Francis can be recovered from countless modern and medieval appropriations and compare Fr. Thompson’s biography on Francis’s early life with a variety of biographical sources. \nAmong the most beloved saints in the Catholic tradition\, Francis of Assisi (c. 1181-1226) is popularly remembered for his dedication to poverty\, his love of animals and nature\, and his desire to follow perfectly the teachings and example of Christ. During his lifetime and after his death\, followers collected\, for their own purposes\, numerous stories\, anecdotes\, and reports about Francis. As a result\, the man himself and his own concerns became lost in legend. \nParticipants are also encouraged to attend the symposium on Francis of Assisi: A New Biography (Wednesday\, January 23 at 4:30PM) and lecture on Francis of Assisi: Lost between Myth and History (Thursday\, January 24 at 7:ooPM ) by Fr. Thompson\, both of which will take place in Swift Hall\, 3rd Floor Lecture Hall\, 1025 East 58th Street. \nReading List: \n\n“The Franciscan Question” (pp. 153-70)\n“Chapter 1: When I was in my sins\, 1181-1205” (pp. 3-18)\n“Sources and Debate on Chapter 1” (pp. 189-206)

SUMMARY:“The Capacious Mind of St. Thomas”
DESCRIPTION:Co-Sponsored by the Medieval Studies Workshop \nThe thought of Thomas Aquinas\, especially as it bears upon human action\, leads one to make difficult choices. Aquinas insists that a lie even to save the life of another is always a sin. He also insists that one ought not ever by means of a direct act to take the life an innocent human being. Understanding Thomas’s capacious mind” and the nature of the acts in question held us to understand why we should follow him in these matters.
