SUMMARY:Athens\, Jerusalem—and Alexandria: Christian Wisdom between the Bible and Greek Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Rémi Brague with a response by Jean-Luc Marion. Free and open to the public. Cosponsored by the Ethics Club at the Divinity School. This lecture will be audio and video recorded and accessible via this webpage shortly after the event. Persons with disabilities who need an accommodation in order to participate in this event should contact us by email or call 773-955-5887. \nChristian wisdom could work its way through the Hebrew Bible and Greek philosophy and produce some sort of “Alexandrian” synthesis by focusing on the Logos\, a concept explicitly central to Greek philosophy and implicitly fundamental to Biblical revelation. \nYou can read about Professor Brague’s previous visit HERE. \nTo view photos of the event\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nYou can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Anscombe on Living the Truth
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Anscombe was one of the most important and influential analytic philosophers of the twentieth century. One of the last lectures she delivered was titled “Doing the Truth.” In it\, she set out to identify and clarify a specifically practical mode of truth as the proper goal of a specifically practical mode of reasoning and knowledge.  This talk will explore how Anscombe understands practical truth by relating it to her influential theory of the intentionality of action; its ultimate suggestion is that “doing the truth” just is living a good human life–i.e.\, knowingly performing actions in accordance with true judgments of right practical reasoning.  The person who achieves this truth is virtuous\, someone who can stand as an exemplar (or rule and measure) for those who seek the truth but have not yet realized it in their lives. \nTo view photos of the lecture\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nYou can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music.

SUMMARY:The Book of Job and the Transmission of Biblical Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:Open to current students and faculty. Lunch will be served. \nAll too often\, reading Scripture is merely an exercise in self-flattery and reinforcing our own preconceptions. But reading Scripture cross-culturally draws us more deeply into the text and undoes some of those preconceptions. Reading Job\, one of Scripture’s most enigmatic books\, in Lomwe with Lomwe-speakers can surprise a North American reader\, illuminating what is present and what is absent. This presentation will center on a close-reading of passages from the text of Job. \nImage: Job and His Friends\, Ilya Repin via Wikimedia Commons.

SUMMARY:The Hillbilly Thomist: Flannery O'Connor's Catholic Imagination
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n6:00 Dinner | 6:30 Lecture \nThis weekly non-credit course is open to current students and faculty. Registrants are free to attend as many sessions as they choose. Sessions do not presuppose previous attendance or prior knowledge of the subject. \nThe fiction writer and essayist Flannery O’Connor (1925-1964) once complained that she was pegged as “a hillbilly nihilist\,” whereas she viewed herself as “a hillbilly Thomist.”  Her profound Catholic faith served in many respects to detach her from the rural Georgia in which she lived and worked\, and at the same time gave her a sympathy for and insight into the radical non-conformists of the Protestant South\, such that her often grotesque characters are conveyed by convincing human portraits that at the same time rise above the particulars of time and place so as to speak to the Big Questions of faith and unbelief\, salvation and damnation. \nThis course will examine in detail seven of O’Connor’s short stories\, as well as the theology and artistic convictions from which they come to be\, supplemented by letters selected from her published correspondence.  Volunteers will be recruited to prepare and read aloud brief excerpts from the stories.  No previous acquaintance with the works of O’Connor is required or presumed. \nApril 3rd\nThe Hillbilly Thomist: An introduction to O’Connor and her work. \nApril 10th\n“The Enduring Chill” \nApril 17th\n“A Temple of the Holy Ghost” \nApril 24th\n“A Late Encounter with the Enemy” \nMay 1st\n“The Life You Save May Be Your Own” \nMay 8th\n“Parker’s Back” \nMay 15th\n“A Good Man Is Hard to Find” \nMay 22nd\n“Revelation” \nYou can watch a profile of Flannery O’Connor HERE.
