10/11/10 - Fall Public Reading Group

This Monday night, October 11, the Liberty University Philosophy Club will be continuing a reading group open to the student body and the general public. This semester, we are discussing The Vindication of Tradition by the late Yale Divinity School professor and Lutheran pastor turned Orthodox laymen Jaroslav Pelikan. The book is a compilation of four presentations given as the 1983 Jefferson Lectures in the Humanities dealing with the role of tradition in culture, religion, art, and society in general. This coming week's chapter is entitled "The Recovery of Tradition" and constitutes a case study of the journey of John Henry Newman into the Roman Catholic Church. Discussion will begin at 7 p.m. in the third floor DeMoss conference room (3333), with a trip to IHOP afterwards. Feel free to join the group, having read the assigned chapter or not.
