The Parables and Sayings of Jesus: Theology and Parallels Part 2

Continuation of the spring course where we will examine the parables and the messages they contain, particularly considering various types and themes, especially the advent of the kingdom of God, reversal elements in the parables, and the action and response they evoke. The parables contain many layers for review and reflection, including core words of Jesus, other narrative characters, and early church views. In addition, we will look at scholarship and commentaries on the parables and examine similarities and contrasts in the parallels between the various versions. Finally, we will consider the relevance of these scriptures for our current lives and how we can respond to the parables.

Required Text: Bible.

Celebrating the novels of George Eliot: Silas Marner and Middlemarch

We will begin by reading Silas Marner, the third novel by Mary Ann Evens, published under the pen name of George Eliot. This classic story of a somewhat solitary weaver is also a tale of sin and redemptive love. Considered one of the masterpieces of Victorian literature, Middlemarch was initially published in installments between 1871 and 1872. Detailing frustrated aspirations and the difficult marriages of Dorothea Brooke to Edward Casaubon and Tertius Lydgate to Rosamond Vincy , the novel also provides, as its subtitle suggests, a multifaceted examination of provincial life.

Course Texts: Silas Marner and Middlemarch. (Middlemarch was revised in 1874; most available texts will include those revisions.)

Instructor: Sr. Fran McManus, RSM

Thursdays, Oct. 7 – Nov. 18, 2021
