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.

SUMMARY:“The Theologico-Political Problem Today”
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the History of Christianity Club \nFor three hundred years the modern nation-state appeared to determine the relationship between politics and religion. Indeed\, the modern state was devised to solve this troubled relation. This is no longer the case. The present weakness of nations in discerning matters religious and theological\, along with its cool disinterest in religion\, presents a particular crisis for the Church. This lecture will consider the history of the theologico-political problem and address the condition of three essential institutions: marriage\, polity and church.

SUMMARY:Philosophy and Martyrdom: Tertullian and Justin Martyr
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Department of Philosophy and Philosophy of Religions Club \nDuring the first two centuries of Christianity believers were led to confess their faith before a pagan world and endure persecution and trial\, often leading to martyrdom. One might expect from them the posture and tactics of an irrational and “prophetic” theology. But in fact they chose to make arguments for the consistency and rationality of faith under the literary genre of the apology. They even claimed that this rational confession of faith deserves the title of philosophy. This paradox sheds light on our contemporary situation.

SUMMARY:“The Careful Rationality of Monotheism: Thomas Aquinas on Analogical Knowledge of God”
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Medieval Studies Workshop \nHow can philosophers speak about God in a reasonable fashion? Does speech about God exceed the capacities of human reason? In responding to these questions\, Thomas Aquinas develops a path between the extremes of apophaticism (rejecting the applicability of human language to God) and rationalistic optimism. This lecture will argue for the validity of Thomist doctrine of divine naming and its relevance to contemporary debates in analytic theism and to Heidegger’s critique of onto-theology (the theology of being).

SUMMARY:"The Virgin Mary as Model of the Church: From Vatican II to Thomas Aquinas"
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the History of Christianity Club\n\nThe Second Vatican Council insisted that the Virgin Mary is to be understood in light of the Church\, and the Church is to be understood in light of the Virgin Mary. Why should the Church seek to recover today a greater emphasis on Marian devotion? How is the Virgin Mary a model of the faith and spiritual life of Christians? Thomas Aquinas provides the basis for a contemporary interpretation of the Council’s Marian teachings.
