October, 2021 - Saint Francis of Assisi

The Dublin of Joyce and Yeats

James Joyce is considered to be one of the greatest prose writers of the modern period. His fellow Irishman and 1923 Nobel Laureate, William Butler Yeats, was hailed by T. S. Eliot as “the greatest poet of the 20^th century.” This course will focus on Joyce’s short story collection, The Dubliners, and on Yeats’s works. A viewing of John Huston’s 1987 film classic, The Dead, will supplement the readings.

The Letters of St. Paul – Part 1

In this seven-week course we will introduce the first have of the Pauline epistles. We will proceed in roughly chronological order and cover those letters generally accepted to be written by St. Paul himself. We will study the letters to understand Paul’s understanding of Christ, of the Holy Spirit, of salvation and of the nature of the Church. In the process we will also discuss live in these early communities, Christian living and the relationship between Christianity and it’s parent religion: Judaism.

We will be studying: First Thessalonians, Galatians, First and Second Corinthians, Philippians, and Philemon. The rest of the Pauline letters will be covered in Part 2 next semester.
