SUMMARY:The Works and Legacy of St. Augustine
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER BELOW \n6:00 Dinner | 6:30 Lecture (last 20 Q & A) | 7:30 End \nThis event is designated for current University of Chicago graduate and undergraduate students. University of Chicago faculty and staff are also welcome to attend. Others interested in auditing should contact William Hurley at whurley@lumenchristi.org. \nIn his first public address\, Pope Leo XIV declared himself “a son of St. Augustine\, who once said\, ‘With you I am a Christian\, and for you I am a bishop.’” This moment served as an ode to the Augustinian order\, of which he is a member\, and marked St. Augustine as a central influence to his papacy.  \nIn order to understand Pope Leo XIV\, we must return to St. Augustine.  \nSt. Augustine of Hippo (A.D. 354–430) was a North African bishop and theologian whose writings\, like The Confessions and The City of God\, shaped Christian thought. After a life of searching and struggling with what is true\, he embraced the Christian faith. His philosophy ultimately centers on the idea of the restless soul finding rest in God. \nJoin us as we survey one of the most prominent theologians in the history of Christianity and explore his enduring legacy on the Church today. \n  \nSchedule: \nOct 7 – Week 1: City of God pt 1 \nWillemien Otten (Dorothy Grant Maclear Professor of Theology and the History of Christianity; also in the College; Associate Faculty in the Department of History\, Social Sciences Division\, The University of Chicago) \nThe City of God is a  major historical-theological work that gives both a macrohistory of the world but also a microhistory of Adam and Eve folded within it. The first two sessions of the class will deal respectively with the dynamics of the macro- and the microhistorical view. \nTo focus on City of God\, books 1\, 5 and 11-13. See also the article by James Wetzel\, “Augustine on the Origin of Evil: Myth and Metaphysics.” \nOct 14 – Week 2: City of God pt 2 \nWillemien Otten \nThe City of God is a  major historical-theological work that gives both a macrohistory of the world but also a microhistory of Adam and Eve folded within it. The first two sessions of the class will deal respectively with the dynamics of the macro- and the microhistorical view. \nTo focus on City of God\, books 14-15 and 19. See also the article by Willemien Otten\, “Between Exegesis and Naturalization: Gender and Creation in Augustine.” \nOct 21 – Week 3: Confessions \nRyan Coyne (Associate Professor of the Philosophy of Religions and Theology; also in the College\, The University of Chicago) \nOct 28 – Week 4: On The Trinity \nBernard McGinn (Naomi Shenstone Donnelley Professor Emeritus of Historical Theology and of the History of Christianity in the Divinity School and the Committees on Medieval Studies and on General Studies\, The University of Chicago) \nAugustine’s “De Trinitate” is one of his longer and most difficult writings. The book makes three significant contributions to Christian theology of the Trinity: (1) sorting out the biblical basis for the Trinity; (2)  establishing a “grammar” of correct speaking about the doctrine\, and (3) exploring the inner appropriation of the Trinity into the life of the believer. \nNov 4 – Week 5: On Christian Teaching \nScott Moringiello (Chair of the Department of Catholic Studies\, Associate Professor\, DePaul University) \nAugustine’s On Christian Teaching (De Doctrina Christiana) is in some ways an overlooked classic. But this book gets to the heart of Augustine’s theological vision. In explaining the proper way to interpret the Scriptures and to preach Augustine offers a vision of how to do theology. If you read the Scriptures\, and love does not increase in you\, you’re misreading them. \nNov 11 – Week 6: Augustine and the Sociology of the Self \nCassandra Sever (Postdoctoral Fellow\, The Lumen Christi Institute) \nWhat if the key to understanding today’s cultural crises is hidden in an ancient vision of the self? This lecture explores Augustine’s idea of the self as ordered to the sacred and meaning-seeking—and shows how this vision can illuminate the sociology of who we are\, what we long for\, and the fractures of the contemporary world. \nNov 18 – Week 7: History of the Augustinian Order \nFr. Peter Funk\, O.S.B. (Prior of the Monastery of the Holy Cross)

SUMMARY:Our Hearts Are Restless: Augustine’s Confessions and Modern Anxiety - Ever Ancient\, Ever New: The Sources of Pope Leo XIV | West Suburban Catholic Culture Series
DESCRIPTION:The West Suburban Catholic Culture Series\n\nEver Ancient\, Ever New:\nThe Sources of Pope Leo XIV\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \nOctober 15th:\nOur Hearts Are Restless: Augustine’s Confessions and Modern Anxiety\nCo-sponsored by St. Gregory’s Hall\nSchedule: 6:30 p.m. Drinks | 7:00 p.m. Dinner\, Lecture\, & Q&A | 8:30 p.m. End \nLECTURE DESCRIPTION \nThe twentieth century philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said that Augustine’s Confessions was possibly the most serious book ever written. There’s good reason to think he was right. In the book – equal parts memoir\, prayer\, philosophical treatise\, and theological masterpiece – Augustine explores the nature of goodness\, the puzzle of sin\, and the necessity of friendship. He savors the love of God that is offered in Christ and his Church. He even realizes (as we all do eventually) that his mother was right all along.  \nIn this lecture\, Prof. Moringiello will introduce the Confessions\, one of the greatest books in the Western canon\, and one especially dear to Pope Leo’s heart. He will talk about his experience teaching it to undergraduates at Villanova University and DePaul University. And he will focus on how one of the most famous lines in the book — “our hearts are restless until the find rest in You\, Lord” (1.1.5) – speaks to his students and to all of us who live in a world dominated by restlessness and who continually search for the rest that God’s love provides. \nBusiness casual attire encouraged. For questions\, or if you would like to request a comped ticket as a priest\, religious\, or high school teacher\, please email Margaux (Killackey) Taffet at mtaffet@lumenchristi.org.

SUMMARY:A History of the Impossible: Carlos Eire on They Flew
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER BELOW \n5:30 Lecture | 6:20 Response | 6:45 Audience Q & A | 7:00 End \nThis event is open to the public\, registration is required\, please contact William Hurley at whurley@lumenchristi.org for any questions. \n \nThis event is co-sponsored by the University of Chicago Divinity School and the Workshop on the Early Modern World. \nLevitation. Bilocation. Witchcraft. Demonic Possession. \nEurope in the early modern era was simultaneously the site of Kepler\, Newton\, Copernicus–and of eyewitness accounts of levitating saints and nocturnal witches’ sabbats. \nIn his history of the impossible\, award-winning historian Carlos Eire mines the firsthand accounts and archival evidence of the miraculous and demonic.  How did an increasingly skeptical and scientific culture account for events deemed impossible by its leading intellectuals? What does this say about the supposed boundaries between the natural and supernatural that marked the transition to modernity? \nIn this lecture\, Carlos Eire will explore the major themes of They Flew and ask: what makes something impossible? And is there more to reality than meets the eye? \nUniversity of Chicago Divinity School professor Kirsten Macfarlane will offer a response and engage Eire in a conversation about They Flew. Audience Q&A will follow. \n  \nThis project is 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. \n
