THE 120 - Search for God
This course, inspired by the quaerere Deum of the Benedictines, explores the triune God of love revealed in Jesus Christ as the heart of all reality and the possibility of knowing, loving, and serving Him through the grace of a divine encounter. It examines the narrative of salvation history in Sacred Scripture (Creation and Fall, Israel and Redemption in Christ, the foundation of the Church) and engages two spiritual classics, St. Augustine’s Confessions as well as a contemporary work such as C. S. Lewis’ Surprised by Joy or St. Thérèse of Lisieux’s Story of a Soul. The course involves discussion of the relationship of faith and reason, the love God has for His people, and the promise and challenge of faith in ages past and present.
