SUMMARY:In Lumine Network Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The In Lumine Network consists of six independent institutes for Catholic Thought located at elite research universities in the United States. Funded by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation\, the In Lumine network aims to advance dialogue between theology\, philosophy\, and the natural and social sciences on the campuses they serve. \nThe founding members of the network include: the Lumen Christi Institute at the University of Chicago\, the Nova Forum at the University of Southern California\, the Saint Anselm Institute at the University of Virginia\, COLLIS at Cornell University\,  the Collegium Institute at the University of Pennsylvania\, and the Harvard Catholic Forum at Harvard University. \nThrough the development of the In Lumine Network\, institutes for Catholic thought at secular universities will be better prepared to humbly but confidently remind the academy of the importance of the Catholic intellectual tradition in the centuries-old dialogue between science and faith. By advocating for the complementarity of epistemologies too often cast as opposites\, fruitful and enriching dialogue will certainly result. \nMore information about the In Lumine Network can be found here.

SUMMARY:Magis Lecture | Pro and Con: Does Faith Ignore Reason?
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. \nEvery Sunday\, Christian worshipers profess the Nicene Creed. \nThe Creed formulates and supports our belief in one God\, but there appears to be scant empirical evidence for many of its claims that we acknowledge to be true.  We don’t profess the Creed because we’ve been persuaded by overwhelming evidence. Is it reasonable\, then\, to believe that the Creed’s claims are true? Or does our profession of faith shove our reason into exile?  So says Sam Harris\, a recent “popular atheist\,” who argues that faith is by nature unreasonable. \nBut William James\, the 19th-century American psychologist\, tells another tale. He argues that it can be reasonable to believe some things based on less than compelling evidence. If we don’t\, we risk losing out on vitally important truths that could give us the whole purpose of life. And this risk is far greater than the risk of believing something on scant evidence. \nHere is a vision in which faith and reason\, to work well\, must work together to give life its full meaning. \nABOUT THE MAGIS SERIES \nThe Magis Series on Faith and Reason is a partnership between the Lumen Christi Institute and St. Ignatius College Prep to bring accessible yet sophisticated lectures on the Church’s intellectual tradition to the broad lay public. The event is open to everyone from high school students to retirees. No affiliation with St. Ignatius is needed. Anyone who desires a lively entree into the mind of the Church is welcome and encouraged to attend. \nSCHEDULE \n5:30 PM | Cocktails and Hors d’oeuvres \n6:15 PM | Lecture \n7:00 PM | Event concludes

SUMMARY:Symposium on "The Future of Christian Art"
DESCRIPTION:Is there a future for Christian Art? Can beauty save a “modern” world? This symposium features a presentation by Fr. Stephen Fields\, SJ (Georgetown) in which he distinguishes between modernity and previous periods of the Western Christian experience and draws upon the work of Hans Urs von Balathasar to argue that Christians must reconceive the meaning of “beauty.” Responses will follow from University of Chicago art historian Karin Krause and Chicago Artist John David Mooney. \nThis event is being supported by funds from the Fr. Paul V. Mankowski\, S.J. Memorial Fund for Jesuit Scholarship. Fr. Paul\, former Jesuit Scholar-in-Residence for the Lumen Christi Institute and trained biblicist\, was also a humanist with wide ranging interests in art and literature. You can learn more about the fund and Fr. Paul’s life and legacy here. \nThis event is free and open to the public. This event is cosponsored by the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. This event will be recorded. Contact us with any questions. \n\nCurrent students and faculty are also invited to a master class with Fr. Fields on Friday\, October 21\, entitled Clashing over Mysticism: Balthasar and Rahner on Bonaventure. For more information and to register\, see the event page.

SUMMARY:Master Class: Clashing over Mysticism: Balthasar and Rahner on Bonaventure
DESCRIPTION:Open to current students and faculty. Others interested in participating should contact info@lumenchristi.org. Registrants will receive copies of the prepared reading. \nIn an era of outstanding theologians who made the teachings of Vatican II possible\, Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-88) and Karl Rahner (1904-84) emerge as titans. Both were German speaking: Rahner came from Baden and Balthasar from Switzerland. Rahner died as a Jesuit\, having taught in Innsbruck\, Munich\, and Muenster. Balthasar left the order in mid-life to serve as chaplain to a secular institute in Basel.  Both were prolific writers. Rahner’s chief works are Spirit in the World (1957)\, a study of Aquinas’s theory of knowledge; Hearer of the Word (1941)\, a study in Christian philosophy of religion; Foundations of Christian Faith (1976)\, a systematic theology of Catholicism; and the renowned Theological Investigations (1954- 84)\, sixteen volumes on a wide range of topics. Balthasar produced\, among other works\, a renowned trilogy\, each multi-volumed: The Glory of the Lord: A Theological Aesthetics (1961-67); Theo-Drama (1973-83); and Theo-Logic (1985-87). I would also mention his influential Theology of Karl Barth (1951). \nAlthough they began their careers as collaborators\, especially in reconceiving nature and grace\, they ended as antagonists over theological method. Our Master Class will peer into their differences by reading their interpretations of the mystical theology of St. Bonaventure\, the thirteen- century Seraphic Doctor. Rahner published his study in 1933 in Revue d’ascétique et de mystique;Balthasar published his in 1961 in the first volume of Glory of the Lord. I will argue that they develop remarkably contrasting views of Bonaventure\, because they hold remarkably contrasting views on a broader issue. It concerns the impact of the act of faith on the human person’s faculties. \nOur two sessions\, each of an hour separated by a break\, will deal first with Rahner’s article\, then with Balthasar’s\, then with the broader issue. \nReadings:\n\n\nBalthasar\, Hans Urs von. “Bonaventure.” In Seeing the Form. Glory of the Lord 2. Trans. Andrew Louth et al. San Francisco: Ignatius\, 1984: 260-362\, at 306-26. Originally as above. \n\n\nRahner\, Karl. “The Doctrine of the ‘Spiritual Senses’ in the Middle Ages.” In Theological Investigations 16. Trans. David Morland\, OSB. New York: Crossroad\, 1983: 104-34. Originally as above. \n\n\nFields\, Stephen. “Balthasar and Rahner on the Spiritual Senses.” Theological Studies 57 (1996): 224-41 (selections). \n\n\nQuestions to Guide the Readings:\n\n\nHow does each thinker see Bonaventure conceiving the relation between soul and body in the human person? \n\n\nHow does each thinker see Bonaventure conceiving the ‘spiritual senses’? \n\n\nAccording to each thinker\, what is the Object of the spiritual senses? \n\n\nAccording to each thinker\, what are the important spiritual senses? Why? \n\n\nHow does each thinker interpret Bonaventure’s mysticism as “learned ignorance”? \n\n\nIn your opinion\, does Rahner’s interpretation obviate Christ? Does Balthasar’s interpretation finally give any importance to mysticism in Christianity?

SUMMARY:Society\, Law\, and Virtue: Colloquium in Honor of Russell Hittinger
DESCRIPTION:This is an invite-only colloquium in honor of Russell Hittinger. \nHittinger has articulated many of the deepest Augustinian and Thomistic sources of natural law theory\, given an influential critique of certain trends in contemporary natural law thinking\, and shown how various conceptions of natural law have been embraced or rejected in American political debates since the middle of the twentieth century. Finally\, his most recent work has shown how natural law principles have been integrated into Catholic social teaching since the French Revolution. This discussion will use Hittinger’s writings as a springboard to explore these perennial and timely topics in order to see where the potential for future developments and applications of natural law theory may be found.

SUMMARY:Symposium on "The Future of Natural Law"
DESCRIPTION:Natural law theory has long been a central tenet of Christian philosophical and theological reflection on the relationship between God\, the moral life\, and society\, and it has played an important historical role in shaping the political life of the United States and many other nations. The topic of natural law has also been the subject of many disputes and disagreements\, both in the contemplative and practical orders. It is therefore important to take stock of this rich and complex history if we are to understand the current state of natural law thinking so as to ascertain what role it may play in the future. \nThis event is the public portion of an invite-only faculty colloquium in honor of Russell Hittinger. Hittinger has articulated many of the deepest Augustinian and Thomistic sources of natural law theory\, given an influential critique of certain trends in contemporary natural law thinking\, and shown how various conceptions of natural law have been embraced or rejected in American political debates since the middle of the twentieth century. Finally\, his most recent work has shown how natural law principles have been integrated into Catholic social teaching since the French Revolution.
