SUMMARY:Book Discussion: No God\, No Science? Theology\, Cosmology\, Biology
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, February 5\, at 4 p.m.\, philosopher Phillip Sloan of the University of Notre Dame and Ken Myers of the Mars Hill Audio Journal will join Michael Hanby to discuss and debate his latest book: No God\, No Science? Theology\, Cosmology\, Biology. \nThe discussion will be followed by a reception in McGivney Hall. \n \nFrom the publisher: \nAre creation and evolution mutually exclusive terms? Or is there instead a deep relationship between science\, metaphysics\, and theology that can help shed light into mankind’s quest for the ultimate truth? No God\, No Science?: Theology\, Cosmology\, Biology presents a comprehensive work of philosophical theology whose overarching aim is to retrieve the Christian doctrine of creation ex nihilo from the distortions imposed upon it by positivist science and the Darwinian tradition of evolutionary biology. \nMichael Hanby cogently argues that the Christian doctrine of creation is actually essential to the intelligibility of the world and that the universe itself is a fundamentally metaphysical and theological concept. Metaphysics and theology\, he reasons\, are not options in the realm of science\, and the intractable problems of Darwinian biology are actually the result of its faulty metaphysical and theological foundations. Putting forth a new understanding of the relationship between theology and science and an original and thought-provoking critical reassessment of Darwinian biology\, No God\, No Science? changes the terms of the debate between Darwinism and theology and offers startling new insights into the potential for science and religion to coexist and flourish in the modern world. \nThe book is available for purchase from Wiley.

SUMMARY:McGivney Lectures: The Four Republics
DESCRIPTION:February 23\, 2015 — February 26\, 2015 (7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.) \nDuring the week of February 23\, Prof. Giorgio Buccellati\, Professor Emeritus of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at the University of California\, Los Angeles\, will present the 2015 McGivney Lectures\, “The Four Republics.” Starting from his fifty years’ expertise as a historian and field archaeologist of Ancient Near Eastern civilizations\, his series of three lectures will discuss the origins and development of human community: \nOver time\, hominin and human communal living has been marked by very few structural transformations that were truly epochal in nature. They were conditioned by factors that pertain to the way in which perception and reason interact with the world around us\, and the way in which the group mediates the relationship of the individual to the absolute. \nLong before Plato’s classical definition\, we can identify three time-bound “republics\,” i.e.\, three very distinct\, though not mutually exclusive\, modes of articulating the bond of solidarity that holds the group together – three republics that have conditioned human history ever since. And beyond time\, there lurks a fourth republic\, barely documentable historically\, yet arguably central to their very nature as the final target of a shared trajectory. \n\nFebruary 23: “Two-and-a-Half-Million Years before Solon”\nFebruary 25: “The Invention of Society”\nFebruary 26: “The Impact of Wholeness and the Outer Limits of Freedom”\n\nThe lectures will take place each evening at 7:00 p.m. in Keane Auditorium\, McGivney Hall. \nAdmission to the lectures is free\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Healing or Human Enhancement? The Future of Medicine
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Cultural and Pastoral Research is pleased to announce a symposium on “Healing or Human Enhancement? The Future of Medicine” at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family at The Catholic University of America on April 17-18\, 2015. \nMedicine\, by almost all accounts\, faces an uncertain future. There are the skyrocketing costs and the regulatory concerns that have plagued medicine for years. There are the many changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act. Yet more fundamentally\, rapid technological and biomedical advances\, though they hold out great diagnostic and therapeutic promise\, have put the very nature and end of medicine in question. Is the goal of medicine the traditional end of human healing\, or is it the new ‘posthuman’ goal of human enhancement? Is this distinction sustainable? \nThis symposium will discuss the profound questions surrounding the new possibilities not only for healing but also for so-called human “enhancement” by exploring the effect these have on our expectation of health and the practice of contemporary medicine. \nPhysicians attending the symposium may claim Continuing Medical Education credits.** \nRegistration\n\nGeneral\nClergy\, Religious\, and Students\nAlumni\nInstitute Students\n\nAccommodations\nRooms are available at a discounted rate for conference participants at the following hotels: \n\nCourtyard Marriott  (Deadline for reservation: March 20th)\nSilver Spring Hilton Doubletree (Deadline for reservation: March 27th)\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\nFriday\, April 17\n\n\n\n6:30 p.m.\nRegistration Table Opens\n\n\n7:00\nThe Übermensch Ambition: Treatment or Enhancement? \nSpeakers: Chris Hook\, M.D. \nJohn Lane\, M.D. \nModerator: Michael Hanby\, Ph.D.\n\n\nSaturday\, April 18\n\n\n\n8:30 a.m.\nContinental Breakfast Available\n\n\n9:00\nWhom Do You Trust with Your Life?

SUMMARY:The Church in the Modern World: Fifty Years Later
DESCRIPTION:On November 13-14\, 2015\, the Washington Session of the John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family will sponsor a conference entitled “The Church in the Modern World: Fifty Years Later” for the fiftieth anniversary of the Second Vatican Council’s document Gaudium et spes. The conference concludes the Institute’s series of events devoted to the major texts of Vatican II. \nGaudium et spes provides the Church’s most comprehensive official statement regarding her relation to the world. The document carries out its reflection above all in terms of a distinctive anthropology conceived in inner openness to the revelation of God in Jesus Christ. Indeed\, the anthropology of Gaudium et spes is best understood against the background of Chalcedonian Christology\, with its affirmation that\, in Jesus Christ\, God truly assumes (assumpta) but does not absorb (preempta) human nature. As Joseph Ratzinger puts it: “The human nature of all men is one; Christ’s taking to himself the one human nature of man is an event which affects every human being; consequently human nature in every human being is henceforward Christologically characterized” (Vorgrimler\, ed.\, Commentary on the Documents of Vatican II\, 160). \nThe question of the Church’s relation to the world\, in this light\, takes on a striking new feature. Her task of entering the modern world\, of taking on the “joy and hope\, the grief and anguish of the men and women of our time” and of bearing the “message of salvation intended for all\,” consists in a genuine assumption of the world into and through Christ’s Eucharistic love\, an assumption that does not absorb but on the contrary presupposes even as it fulfills the world’s own natural-creaturely integrity (GS 1). \nThe purpose of the conference is to ponder several main issues that arise regarding the Church-world relation so understood\, treating first those problems that concern “the dignity of the human person and his individual and social role in the universe” (GS 46); and second\, in light of these anthropological considerations\, those “urgent problems deeply affecting the human race” (46). Chief among the latter is that identified first by Gaudium et spes: marriage and family (GS 47-52). \nSchedule\n\n\n\nFriday\, November 13\n\n\n6:30 p.m.\nCheck-in table opens\n\n\n7:00\nKeynote Address \nAmerica and the End of Civilization: God and the (Dis)Enchantment of Culture \nSpeaker: David L. Schindler\n\n\n8:30\nReception\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, November 14\n\n\n8:30 a.m.\nContinental breakfast available\n\n\n9:00-10:30\nThe Anthropology of Gift \nSpeakers: Adrian Walker and Rev.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: The Catholicity of Reason
DESCRIPTION:April 8\, 2016 (4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.)\nKeane Auditorium\, McGivney Hall \nOn Friday\, April 8\, at 4 p.m.\, philosopher William Desmond of the Institute of Philosophy at the Catholic University of Leuven and Fr. Anselm Ramelow\, O.P.\, of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology will join Dr. D.C. Schindler to discuss and debate his recent book\, The Catholicity of Reason. \nVideo footage from this event can be found below. \n \nFrom the Publisher\nAn original argument for the recovery of a robust notion of reason and truth in response to modern rationalism and postmodern skepticism \nThe Catholicity of Reason explains the “grandeur of reason\,” the recollection of which Benedict XVI has presented as one of the primary tasks in Christian engagement with the contemporary world. \nWhile postmodern thinkers–religious and secular alike–have generally sought to respond to the hubris of Western thought by humbling our presumptuous claims to knowledge\, D. C. Schindler shows in this book that only a robust confidence in reason can allow us to remain genuinely open both to God and to the deep mystery of things. Drawing from both contemporary and classical theologians and philosophers\, Schindler explores the basic philosophical questions concerning truth\, knowledge\, and being–and proposes a new model for thinking about the relationship between faith and reason. \nThe reflections brought together in this book bring forth a dramatic conception of human knowing that both strengthens our trust in reason and opens our mind in faith. \nReviews\nFrancesca Murphy\n— University of Notre Dame\n“Ressourcement and modern Augustinian philosophical theology have been called on their apparent ‘fideism’: Schindler’s response is a resounding philosophical ‘Come at me\, bro!’ The Catholicity of Reason is the most stimulating text in philosophy of religion to appear for many years. . . . It’s the ‘must read’ book of the year.” \nMontague Brown\n— St. Anselm College\n“D. C. Schindler celebrates and brilliantly defends the life that is reason\, a life threatened by reason’s claim to be autonomous and equally by reason’s claim to be limited. . . . Against the reduction of reason to its discursive operations characteristic of the Enlightenment\, Schindler insists on the infinitely rich activity of reason in pursuit of the trinity of the irreducibly distinct but always interrelated objects of reason — truth\, goodness\, and beauty. . . . The only thing more important than the catholicity of reason by which it strives to encompass all truth\, goodness\, and beauty is the Catholicity of reason — the great gift of divine revelation\, which never restricts reason nor distorts human nature but\, on the contrary\, makes reason ever more reasonable and the human person ever more human.” \nOliva Blanchette\n— Boston College\n“Schindler goes a long way toward restoring the metaphysical scope of reason. . . . Much of the discussion in this exploration of the catholicity of both reason and being takes place at the hinge where philosophy and theology join hands. . . . Anyone interested in all such questions of catholicity and analogy both in reason and in being will find much to take into consideration here.” \nCatholic Library World\n“Extremely well written and researched.” \nLiving Church\n“One of the most comprehensive\, intelligent\, disciplined\, and compelling discussions of the relation between faith and reason that we have had in a long while. . . . This may be the best book yet from this young and very prolific Catholic philosopher.” \n  \nThe book is available for purchase from Eerdmans.

SUMMARY:Evolving Conceptions of Liberty: Prospects for Law and Religious Freedom
DESCRIPTION:September 26\, 2016 (7:00pm – 9:30pm) \nJeff Shafer\, Senior Counsel at the Alliance Defending Freedom\, will present a lecture entitled “Evolving Conceptions of Liberty: Prospects for Law and Religious Freedom in the Obergefell Era” on Monday\, September 26\, at 7 p.m. in Keane Auditorium. \nThe lecture will be followed by a reception. \nMr. Shafer will discuss religious freedom in relation to recent Supreme Court rulings: \nThe Supreme Court’s 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges purporting to redefine marriage for the nation illustrates the condition of contemporary law. As the Court in Obergefell did not pair its audacity with cogency\, the decision presents abundant grounds for critique. Yet the outcome was eminently predictable. Why? Because culturally attuned judicial innovating has now itself become a norm\, a functional certainty that has replaced the substantive certainty of stable law. \nThe common segregation of court decisions from enduring legal standards raises concerns for religious dissenters. If “liberty” gave us Obergefell\, how likely is “liberty” to give dissenters a shelter from Obergefell? The path leading to Obergefell presents an interesting story\, as does the challenge in finding a path away from it\, and from what it represents.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Biblical and Theological Foundations of the Family
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, December 2\, at 4 p.m.\, theologians Fr. Gregory Tatum\, O.P.\, of the École Biblique & Archeologique Française de Jerusalem and Craig Bartholomew of Redeemer University will join Joseph Atkinson to discuss and debate his latest book: Biblical and Theological Foundations of the Family: The Domestic Church. \nThe discussion will be followed by a reception. \n \nBook Description:\nBiblical and Theological Foundations of the Family argues that the family has a constitutive nature and a specific theological purpose\, which God reveals in the church. Joseph Atkinson investigates the principles of the doctrine of Creation which inform the family “from the beginning”; the vital way the family functions as “carrier of the covenant” in the Old Testament; and the critical aspects of Hebraic anthropology\, especially corporate personality\, upon which the family is based. \nThis book provides a counter argument to the view of the human person developed in modern thought and which prevails today—the autonomous\, self-determining individual\, with no essential nature or social or ecclesial aspects. Atkinson discusses the constitutive corporate nature of the human person and how the covenantal family of the Old Testament finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. The author does so by investigating how baptism transforms the family and gives it an ecclesial identity\, making it a “domestic church”. He then examines the development of the family’s ecclesial nature in the church fathers\, and the providential re-appropriation of the family’s inner ecclesial identity in the teachings of the Second Vatican Council and in subsequent magisterial teachings. \nThis ground-breaking work establishes a solid biblical and theological foundation on which a theology of the family can be constructed. It thus fills a critical lack in the current literature on the family. The wide range of sources\, including Jewish\, Catholic\, Orthodox\, and Protestant\, give this work a genuine ecumenical dimension. Biblical and Theological Foundations of the Family will become indispensable for anyone wanting to engage in serious study of the structure and meaning of the family and its place in the salvific will of God. \nReviews:\n“This study… offers a bounty of scriptural and theological insights into the church’s ongoing reflection on the family.”\n—Michael A. Fahey\, Journal for the Study of Marriage and Spirituality \n“An important contribution to the topic of the family in Scripture\, especially in the biblical foundational analysis… Careful and balanced in its judgments.”\n—Rev. Jose Granados\, Vice President\, Pontifico Istituto Giovanii Paolo II\, Vatican City\, Rome \n  \nThe book can be purchased through CUA Press.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Gift and the Unity of Being
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 30\, at 4 p.m.\, philosopher John Milbank\, President of the Centre of Theology and Philosophy at the University of Nottingham\, of will join Fr. Antonio López to discuss and debate his latest book: Gift and the Unity of Being. \nThe discussion will be followed by a reception. \nBelow is video footage from the event. \n  \nFrom the Publisher:\nStarting from both our originary experience of being given to ourselves and Jesus Christ’s archetypal self-donation\, Gift and the Unity of Being elucidates the sense in which gift is the form of being’s unity\, while unity itself constitutes the permanence of the gift of being. In dialogue with ancient and modern philosophers and theologians\, Lopez offers a synthetic\, rather than systematic\, account of the unity proper to being\, the human person\, God\, and the relations among them. The book shows how contemplation of the triune God of Love through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit allows us to discover the eternal communion that being is and to which finite being is called. It also illustrates the sense in which God’s gratuitousness unexpectedly offers the human person the possibility to recognize and embrace his origin and destiny\, and thus he is given to see and taste in God’s light the ever-fruitful\, dramatic\, and mysterious positivity of being. \n  \nReviews:\n“In this wonderful book Antonio Lopez offers a profound metaphysical interpretation of the gift of existence that is at once rigorous\, systematic\, and systemically dialogical. Lopez engages all the contending views of the gift out there\, and especially those of Derrida\, Marion\, Milbank\, and Guissani\, [and] he offers his own alternative\, which is embedded in the tradition of Aquinas and his theological and philosophical precursors and heirs. . . . A true tour de force!”\n–Cyril O’Regan\, University of Notre Dame \n  \n“Gift and the Unity of Being ranks among one of the most impressive reflections on the nature of gift\, ranging from deep reflection on the nature of birth to the Trinitarian God as the agapeic giver of all that is. It importantly stresses the reciprocity of giving and receiving\, with due deference for the disproportion and asymmetry of the divine superiority. This book accomplishes this in both philosophical and theological registers\, drawing especially on the work of Luigi Giussani.”\n–William Desmond\, Villanova University \n  \n“I believed I was simply opening a brilliant\, but also a routine comment on Giussani’s thought. But what I discovered here was a masterpiece! This book is no more than one of the most complete expressions of the . . . paradigm of ‘gift’ in present Catholic thought\, embracing the neglected polarity of gift and to-be-given.”\n–Emmanuel Tourpe\, Institut d’Etudes Theologiques
