SUMMARY:The Ontology of Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Open to current graduate students and faculty. Advanced undergraduates and others interested in participating should contact dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. This event is in-person only. All registrants will receive copies of the selected readings\, which should be read in advance of the class. An optional wine and cheese reception will follow.  \nThe theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar once claimed that if modern man denies the reality of beauty\, he will lose the capacity for love and prayer\, and indeed truth\, goodness\, and being itself will be lost to him. This seminar will explore von Balthasar’s less than obvious claims by returning to Plato and exploring the way in which beauty was “lost” in western thought before it was recovered by the provocative manifesto of French philosopher\, Jacques Maritain. Beauty\, Maritain proposed\, could save the world from unintelligibility and prepare it for salvation. \nReadings:\nThe readings consist of selections from Plato\, Jacques Maritain\, and Hans Urs von Balthasar. \nBoth the required and recommended readings will be distributed to participants via Dropbox and PDFs. If you prefer\, you can pick up a printout of the readings at Gavin House (1220 E. 58th Street) Mon-Fri\, 10am-4pm once they are ready. Please email David Strobach at dstrobach@lumenchristi.org to let us know you are coming. \nSchedule:\n1:30-2:00 | pre-event pastries and coffee \n2:00-3:20 | Session 1 \n3:20-3:40 | Coffee break \n3:40-5:00 | Session 2 \n5:00-5:30 | Reception

SUMMARY:Greek New Testament Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Open to current students and faculty at the University of Chicago. Participants can come to whichever sessions they choose. Others interested in participating should contact Joe Haydt at jhaydt@uchicago.edu. Lunch will be provided.  \nThis winter the Greek New Testament Reading Group will work through parables from the Gospel of Luke. We will pay particular attention to chapters sixteen and seventeen. Fr. Peter Bernardi will be on hand for theological questions. All levels of Greek are welcome\, and lunch will be provided. \nSCHEDULE:\nThis group will meet every Tuesday (beginning April 2nd) from 1pm – 2pm. \n\nThe University of Chicago is famous for its graduate student reading groups\, in which students pursue their own intellectual interests among friends in an informal setting. The Lumen Christi Institute supports this endeavor by sponsoring a number of graduate student reading groups each quarter. LCI provides space\, hospitality\, and books. \nReading groups cover the whole spectrum of ideas. Texts do not need to be explicitly Catholic\, though we follow St. Paul’s injunction to attend to whatever is true\, noble\, right\, admirable\, and lovely (Phil 4:8). Groups follow LCI’s guiding principles\, which… \n\n\nAffirm the intellectual life as good in itself \n\n\nAsk questions animated by the principle that “all knowledge forms one whole” \n\n\nTranscend the ideological / political divide (i.e.\, programs should not be partisan in nature) \n\n\nWelcome religious perspectives as part of the intellectual life (i.e.\, programs need not be theological in nature but conversations should be open to religious insights) \n\n\nNurture friendships\, to support the pursuit of truth\, beauty\, and goodness (i.e.\, programs should have a social component)

DESCRIPTION:This event is in-person only. Intended for university students\, faculty\, and staff. Others interested in attending please contact dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. This non-credit course is cosponsored by the Hyde Park Institute and made possible through the support of ‘In Lumine: Supporting the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on Campuses Nationwide’ (Grant #62372) from the John Templeton Foundation. \nRegistrants are free to attend as many sessions as they choose.

SUMMARY:Latin Vulgate Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Open to current students and faculty at the University of Chicago. Participants can come to whichever sessions they choose. Others interested in participating should contact Emily Barnum at ebarnum@uchicago.edu. Coffee\, tea\, and pastries will be provided.  \nSt. Jerome’s Latin translation of the Bible was used exclusively by the Western Church for centuries; its significance for the Roman Catholic tradition cannot be overstated. In this group\, we will work through sections of the Vulgate in order to appreciate its beauty and practice our Latin. For the first session\, no preparation is necessary; we will decide together which texts we will read. Please come with a desire to grow in Latin Bible knowledge with St. Jerome and friends! \nSCHEDULE:\nThis group will meet every Friday (beginning April 5th) from 10:45am – 11:45am over coffee\, tea\, and pastries. \n\nThe University of Chicago is famous for its graduate student reading groups\, in which students pursue their own intellectual interests among friends in an informal setting. The Lumen Christi Institute supports this endeavor by sponsoring a number of graduate student reading groups each quarter. LCI provides space\, hospitality\, and books. \nReading groups cover the whole spectrum of ideas.
