SUMMARY:On the Nature of Angels: Thomas Aquinas Reading Course
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nOpen to current students and faculty. Food\, beverages\, and readings will be provided.  \nOne of Saint Thomas Aquinas’s very last projects was a treatise On Angels. He did not finish it\, but the part that he did carry out is exceptionally brilliant\, even by his standards. It is a work of theology\, but the title under which it came to circulate reflects how philosophical it also is: On Separate Substances. With a more historical approach than that of either Summa on the subject\, it addresses such topics the immateriality of angels\, their origin\, their knowledge\, and the distinctions among them\, including the distinction between the good ones and the bad ones. Along the way\, it offers some of Thomas’s most sophisticated discussions of the metaphysics of creation\, hylomorphism\, and participation. We will work through it at a leisurely pace. \nSCHEDULE:\nThis group will meet bi-weekly on Thursdays (beginning April 3rd) from 6:00pm – 7:30pm over dinner. \nThe text can be accessed online HERE in a Latin and English side-by-side. Participants who prefer a bound copy of the English text can request one from dstrobach@lumenchristi.org.

SUMMARY:Confederacy of Dunces Graduate Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nOpen to current graduate students at the University of Chicago. Participants can come to whichever sessions they choose. Drinks and Snacks will be provided. \nTake a journey with us through the vibrant streets of New Orleans’ French Quarter as we read A Confederacy of Dunces\, John Kennedy Toole’s masterpiece of humor and a character study of one of the giants of literature\, Ignatius J. Reilly. In this group\, we will explore the book’s cadre of distinctive characters and Toole’s synthesis of New Orleans’ contradictory gumbo of vice\, race\, and French Catholicism. We hope we’ll be able to balance the belly laughs with the thoughtful insights the book offers into the absurdity of the modern world\, the struggle to live an authentic life\, and whether a Medieval tome works better as a guide to living a good life or a doorstop. \nSCHEDULE:\nThis group will meet weekly on Thursdays (beginning April 10th) from 8:00pm – 9:00pm over drinks and snacks. \nA copy of the book will be provided to all participants. The reading may be picked up at Gavin House (1220 E 58th street) during business hours at the start of the fall quarter. \n  \n\n4/10: Chapter 1: pp. 1-27\n4/15: Chapters 2-3: pp. 28-81\n4/24: Chapters 4-6: pp. 82-151\n5/1: Chapters 7-9: pp. 152-234\n5/8: Chapters 10-11: pp. 235-302\n5/15: Chapters 12-14: pp. 303-394\n\n

SUMMARY:Maimonides on Christianity and Islam
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nFor questions\, please email David Strobach at dstrobach@gmail.com. \nCosponsored by the Regenstein Foundation\, University of Chicago Medieval Studies Workshop\, University of Chicago Divinity School\, The Catholic-Muslim Studies Program at Catholic Theological Union\, and Seldon Institute. \nWhat did Maimonides say about Christianity and Islam? How would Al-Ghazali or Thomas Aquinas have responded to him?  \nThis symposium will be a thought-experiment in interreligious dialogue.   \nDavid Novak (University of Toronto) will begin by explicating Maimonides’ position. Yousef Casewit (University of Chicago) will put on the persona of Al-Ghazali to reply. And Matthew Levering (University of St. Mary of the Lake) will reply as if he were Thomas Aquinas. A conversation moderated by James Robinson (University of Chicago) and an audience Q-and-A will follow. \nIn biblical times\, the religious divide between the Jews and the Gentiles was straightforward: the Gentiles worship a variety of “other gods” (polytheism); the Jews alone worship the One and Only God\, the Creator of the universe (monotheism). But with the rise of Christianity and Islam\, there are now two peoples claiming to worship the same God as do the Jews. How did Maimonides accept these claims\, yet cogently affirm the superiority of Judaism?

SUMMARY:Latin Vulgate Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nOpen 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 January 24th) from 10:45am – 11:45am over coffee\, tea\, and pastries. \n
