  John Boyle

Augustine began writing City of God in 413 AD. His intention was to defend the Catholic church against its pagan critics, who held Christianity responsible for the sack of Rome by the Goths in 410. By the time he had finished, more than a decade later, Augustine’s work had grown into a complex engagement of the entirety of pagan Roman thought and culture through a masterful interweaving of Scripture and the foundational works of pagan Roman culture. This course will consist of a close reading of the whole of City of God, with particular focus on this interweaving of political, historical, philosophical, and theological themes that have made Augustine’s work second only to the Bible in the shaping of Western Christianity.

Guardini on Conscience, Freedom, & Destiny

Such is the task of education – the formation of our vital powers and strivings, our inner world and outward surroundings. In short, it involves a formation and tuning of conscience within the antiphonal relation between nature and grace: to the Good, True, and Beautiful – the fabric from which nature is woven – and to Christ who wove it and who is our destiny.

To help us reflect upon this task, we will draw upon a range of Guardini’s writings, including Conscience; Freedom, Grace, & Destiny; selections from The World and the Person; The Lord; Learning the Virtues; The Church and the Catholic; and The Spirit of the Liturgy.
