The twelfth-century Carthusian monk Guigo II famously comments, “What is the use of spending one’s time in lectio continua [continuous reading], running through the lives and sayings of holy men, unless we can extract nourishment from them by chewing and digesting this food so that its strength can pass into our inmost heart?” In this course, we will take our cue from Guigo’s recommendation of chewing and digesting the words of Scripture in lectio divina (sacred reading). In Guigo’s explanation, lectio divina consists of reading (lectio), meditation (meditatio), prayer (oratio), and contemplation (contemplatio). We will look at the theoretical underpinnings of sacred reading, discuss the use of Scripture by patristic and medieval theologians, and follow in their footsteps by engaging in the practice of sacred reading ourselves.

This course will introduce the thought of the Angelic Doctor in an ecumenical key. In addition to reading primary texts from Thomas Aquinas’ major works, students will engage the writings of some of his greatest Anglican interpreters. The course will cover Aquinas’ philosophical theology, moral theology, Christology, and sacramental theology, with the help of Anglican divines including Richard Hooker, Austin Farrer, Eric Mascall, and Kenneth Kirk. The questions guiding this Anglican-Thomist dialogue will be interpretive (what does St. Thomas mean?) and constructive (what does this mean for the church today?).

Are sacred pictorial images powerful or dangerous? This course will study the history of the visual image’s place in religious practice, beginning with biblical texts that associate images with idolatry and continuing through the controversies over the role of visual art, icons, and image through this history of the church. Topics include the early Christian disparagement of pagan idols, the Byzantine “war on images” in the eighth and ninth centuries, the theological defense of sacred icons in both East and West, the relationship between miraculous images and holy relics, the Protestant Reformation repudiation of sacred visual art from the sixteenth century forward, and the role of art for the church today. Readings will include such texts as Tertullian’s On Idolatry, John of Damascus’s Three Treatises on Holy Images, portions of the early medieval Libri Carolini (Opus Caroli Regis), Martin Luther’s On the Destruction of Images, and selections from John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion.
