SUMMARY:Truth and Authority in Augustines City of God
DESCRIPTION:Apply here\nThis seminar is an intensive week-long course in how to read\, analyze\, and discern the many themes in Augustine’s most ambitious and sprawling work. The City of God tells the history of two societies\, and their respective origins\, progress\, and appointed ends. The story is engaged first from the evidence of profane history (I-XI) and then from the evidence of revelation (XII-XXII). In this seminar\, participants will discuss how Augustine reckons with the crisis of the ancient and the human city\, and whether it is possible to reconcile truth and authority across the competing domains of polity\, religion\, and philosophical wisdom. These themes will be approached from an interdisciplinary perspective\, addressing questions pertinent to students in political science\, philosophy\, law\, theology\, religious studies\, and history. \nThe Seminar will be led by Prof. Russel Hittinger and Fr. Michael Sherwin OP. \nFormat: There will be two 2.5-hour sessions each day. Each session will include an opening lecture and seminar-style discussion of the text and the issues at hand. Students will be expected to prepare the readings carefully and participate in the discussions of the material. \nLocation: The seminar will take place at the University of California\, Berkeley. Students will be provided with lodging\, meals\, and a travel stipend of up to $350. \nAPPLICATION INFORMATION \n\nThis seminar will be open to JD\, PhD students\, postdoctoral fellows\, and junior faculty in the humanities and relevant fields (such as philosophy\, theology\, English\, classics\, law and history).\nApplicants will be required to complete and submit an online application form including:\n\nAn updated CV.\nAt least one and as many as two letter(s) of recommendation from a member of the program in which the student is currently enrolled.\nA statement of research interest no longer than 750 words\, which includes an explanation of how this seminar might bear on the student’s current or future research plans.\nOne academic writing sample (30 pages maximum).\n\n\nAll application materials can be submitted via the online application interface. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Fifteen students will be admitted to this seminar.\nThe applications is due on February 2\, 2025.\n\n  \nAny further questions can be directed to seminars@lumenchristi.org.

SUMMARY:Newman Forum Summer Institute | Encountering Transcendence: Truth\, Beauty\, and Goodness in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition
DESCRIPTION:APPLY HERE\nRegistration for the Newman Forum Summer Institute is currently full. All new applications will be placed on a waitlist. \nRegistration Deadline: June 15th\, 2025 | $450\nAttendance Fee: EXTENDED to May 22nd\, Early Bird Registration | $250 \nThis project was made possible through the support of In Lumine Tuo: Expanding and Sustaining the Catholic Intellectual Tradition Nationwide (grant #63614) from the John Templeton Foundation and the generous support of our donors. \nCosponsored by the Archdiocese of Chicago Vocations Office and The University of Saint Mary of the Lake at Mundelein Seminary. \n\n“Wherefore if the goodness\, beauty\, and sweetness of creatures are so alluring to the minds of men\, the fountainhead of the goodness of God Himself\, in comparison with the rivulets of goodness which we find in creatures\, will draw the entranced minds of men wholly to itself.”  \n-Thomas Aquinas\, Summa Contra Gentiles\, II.2.3. \n“A test of what is real is that it is hard and rough. Joys are found in it\, not pleasure. What is pleasant belongs to dreams.”  \n\n–Simone Weil\, Gravity and Grace \nWhat is Real? Where might we look to find it? And if we do find it\, what will it be like to experience it? \nIn this 5-Day Summer Institute\, high school students are introduced to college-level philosophy and theology through an investigation of the three “transcendentals” (truth\, goodness\, and beauty). Notre Dame professors Jay and Jennifer Newsome Martin will lead students through a discussion of Plato\, Aristotle\, Augustine\, Bonaventure\, Aquinas\, Newman\, Ratzinger\, von Balthasar\, and relevant biblical texts. Throughout\, we will investigate the role Truth\, Goodness\, and Beauty play in the life of the Christian. \nWe balance academic excellence with spiritual formation. Students learn how to pray the Liturgy of the Hours together\, attend Daily Mass\, and reflect on the vocation to which God is calling us. We also balance work and play. Mornings are for lectures and discussion; afternoons and evenings for excursions including an art tour and workshop at St. Gregory’s in Andersonville \nDraft itinerary may be found HERE. \nTestimonies\n“I now have an entire community backing me up\, and I feel empowered to set forth into college strong in my Faith and bring it into my everyday life.” \n“Even if I don’t know exactly where I am on my pilgrimage\, I know that I’m on my way to Christ.” \n“Lumen Christi’s Newman Forum has created and developed a program that we wish every Catholic high school student could attend\, not only to help begin them on their own intellectual and spiritual journeys\, but also to have a staggering amount of fun\, too. The thoughtful balance of intellectual\, spiritual\, and social activities in the gorgeous natural setting of the Mundelein Seminary campus made this event the highlight of our son’s year…” \n-Jenny and Jay Martin\, Professors of Theology at Notre Dame (and high school parents!) \n

SUMMARY:Vocation of the Catholic Scholar
DESCRIPTION:The Vocation of the Catholic Scholar seminar was catalyzed by LCI’s Postdoctoral Fellows Program in Catholic Studies\, which launched this fall. For the inaugural cohort of fellows\, the institute was only able to accept two out of a pool of nearly seventy\, highly-qualified candidates. This week-long seminar was born out of the interest of so many talented young Catholic scholars\, seeking intellectual community and greater connection with the Church’s rich tradition. The seminar made it possible to bring an additional eleven of these young scholars for a week of formation\, friendship\, and discussion about the meaning of the role in the Church to which God has called them. \nEach morning\, Fr. Stephen Fields\, SJ (Georgetown University) led a conversation on the seminar’s primary text: St. John Henry Newman’s The Idea of a University. Each afternoon\, senior scholars shared their own reflections on research and teaching in the university in the light of their faith. They encouraged seminar participants to consider how the Catholic tradition enriches the scholarly vocation.
