An introduction to reading and understanding the Bible. Open to anyone. Participants in the course need to have their own copy of a Bible (whether online or hard copy) to read and use during the course. Participants should bring their copy of the Bible to each class. Weekly readings will be assigned, participants in the course will benefit most by completing the assigned readings. We only have six weeks for this course, so the assigned readings are very important. You will get the most out of this course if you have one hour a week to do assigned readings.

Martin Heidegger, the premiate philosopher of the 20th century, insisted time and again: "I am a theologian." This class will take him at his word, listening to their chat over a German prisoner. We will learn (or not) that Heidegger reworked Christian Tradition, represented by St. Augustine, and made it relevant for our modern ears. We will think together as a class and exercise our thinking apparatus. Required: a cheap copy of St. Augustine's Confessions. A copy fee of $2 paid to the instructor at first class.
