Medieval Theology at Saint Louis University

Bronze Age lunula and discs ... buried in a bog, locked in a safe, then dumped in a skip!

Two weeks from today (on Wednesday, September 18), the English Department, Saint Louis University presents Michael Ward, Ph.D.: "The Medium is the Message: C.S. Lewis, Narnia and the Seven Heavens."

Dr. Lisa Fagin Davis, Acting Executive Director of the Medieval Academy of America, takes readers on a state-by-state tour of medieval manuscripts to be found in the lower 48 States, focusing on less-well-known collections, some in very surprising locations.

If you ever thought accurate orthodox Trinitarian theology was confusing, you should listen to this!

So long, and thanks for all the fish! Wachsmut von Künzingen - seriously, that is going to have to join Thorfinn Skullsplitter on my list of all-time favourite medieval names - from the 14th-century Codex Manesse.

Ouch! The assassination of Reinmar von Brennenberg, the Bishop of Regensburg's Minnesänger, from the 14th-century Codex Manesse.

With all due respect to the Jesuit Saint Robert Bellarmine, on this day we medievalists shall commemorate the 'dies natalis' of Saint Hildegard of Bingen. ;) May both their voices ring out verdantly in the chorus of praise in heaven!

"Stop watching Game of Thrones. Beowulf is better and features less rape ..."

This afternoon (09/12) at 4pm: Special Collections at Saint Louis University - Pius XII Memorial Library premieres their new exhibition "(Please Don't) Steal This Poster."

Be on the side of the children of Syria. On Saturday, 7 September 2013, Pope Francis called upon all Christians to fast and pray for peace in Syria. Saint Louis University Department of Theological Studies would like to extend the focus on Syria by providing a way to be on the side of the children of Syria. We have decided to raise money for an education program for Syrian refugee children, which is being run by Catholic Relief Services. From Monday, 9 September 2013 to Friday, 27 September 2013, we will be collecting funds from faculty and students of Saint Louis University on behalf of that program.
