Modern Science and the Catholic Faith for Undergraduates: The Society of Catholic Scientists is sponsoring a summer seminar where students can discuss with top scholars how to integrate science and theology into their thinking. Topics include: the historical relationship of the Church and science; the relation of faith and reason; evidence for God in the existence and order of the cosmos; God and nature; primary and secondary causality; the supernatural and miracles; modern physics and natural theology; creation and providence; the beginning of the universe and modern cosmology; God and time; human origins and human distinctiveness; rationality, freedom, and the soul; physicalist reductionism and the human mind; Genesis and scriptural interpretation; biological evolution; biology and human nature; and the Fall, original sin and concupiscence.  It will be held near New Orleans from 7/28-8/3.  Free, with a stipend to defray travel costs.  Register at: http://lumenchristi.org/seminars/1908

Study St. Jerome this Summer: St. Jerome translated the entirety of the Bible into Latin and wrote biblical commentaries that for centuries were the foundation of theology. This August 18-24, St. Benedict’s Monastery in Still River, MA will be hosting a seminar with top scholars discussing the writings of St. Jerome. Free, with a $300 travel stipend. See www.abbey.org/visit/saint-benedict-institute<http://www.abbey.org/visit/saint-benedict-institute>  for application and details.
