Join us on Thursday, April 23rd, at 8:00PM ET (7:00PM CT) for the third installment of the Lumen Christi Institute’s Spring Webinar Series, Reason and Wisdom in Medieval Christian Thought. Professor Brian Carl, who teaches philosophy at the University of St Thomas in Houston, will present on “Thomas Aquinas on Ways to Know God” on Zoom. The Saint Benedict Institute is a cosponsor of this event.
Thomas was a friar of the Order of Preachers whose capacious mind bequeathed many treasures for the Christian tradition, including scriptural commentaries, philosophical treatises and commentary, his Summa theologiae, and devotional and liturgical texts. Thomas' approach to the knowledge of God is complex, acknowledging dialectical, rational, as well as revelatory, gracious, and mystical modes.
This event is free and open to the public, but online registration is required. For more information and to register for this webinar, click here.
