St. Augustine’s Confessions is one of the most enduring and influential works of Christian literature, one that speaks about the relation between God and man in an unprecedented way. Augustine makes his confession to God by telling the story of his life, and he casts the mysteries of theology in terms of his own experience. As we explore the philosophical, theological, and literary dimensions of this remarkable work, we will consider the particulars of Augustine’s story and the way those particulars set the stage for Augustine’s reflection on creatures and their Creator, memory and time, and sin and grace.

Understanding virtue is essential for understanding and speaking about human activity. St. Thomas Aquinas will provide the foundational formulations of the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity, and the cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, courage, and temperance. We will strive to see how understanding the virtues illuminates the fundamental reality of the human person and provides us with a vocabulary for analyzing and speaking about the moral actions of the human person. Works by other thinkers will complement readings from St. Thomas. We will also engage works of fiction. These will provide opportunities to consider the virtues in the concrete, and, in turn, the reality of the virtues will help us think more substantively about works of literature.

The rise and dramatic development of the modern natural sciences have shaped our world in varied and prominent ways. How do these natural sciences fit into Catholic intellectual, spiritual, and cultural life? Just what are the natural sciences, really? How are they related to philosophy and theology? How are they integrated into the Christian imaginary? In this course, we seek to understand and answer these important questions through an exploration of important episodes, topics, and texts from the two-thousand-year history of Christianity and science.
