The conflict between science and religion seems to be longstanding and inevitable. Peter Harrison traces the history of these two and opens up new possibilities for thinking about the relations between them! Join Nova Forum and USC Dornsife for this exciting topic at TCC 227 on October 3rd at 12:30PM. To register, check out the link below.

Catholic Christianity learned from ancient Greek ethics that a good human life requires “virtues,” or capacities for excellence. In this seminar, we will first ask: What is virtue, and what does it have to do with divine Beauty? We will then explore how ancient Christians deepened and transformed these ideas through prayer, spiritual reading, and song.

Join us for the first Seminar this semester! Nova Forum Seminar: Beauty and Virtue will be led by David Albertson and Fr. Luke Dysinger.
