New Thursday Night Class at St. Vincent's

I will soon resume teaching my Thursday night "adult Christian education" class at St. Vincent's. This autumn we will focus on St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153). Bernard was one of the most influential theologians of the Middle Ages. He was also a highly regarded preacher. Few Christian thinkers have presented a more compelling vision of God's love than did Bernard. He was also a central figure in monastic reform and the preaching of the second Crusade. We will take a look at some of his most important theological writings and read a few of his best sermons. The course will begin on Thursday, August 25th, and last approximately six weeks. We will meet in the library at 7:30 PM, immediately following Mass in St. Mary's Chapel. No previous knowledge of Medieval thought is required, so if you are in the area please come!
