GREAT WORKS SEMINAR: Beauty and Brokenness with Marilynne Robinson's Gilead GENERAL RATE- Saturday, July 1, 4-8pm PT
The Hildegard College Great Works Seminar gives students, educators, professionals, parents, and community members the opportunity to read and discuss the ideas that have shaped history’s greatest civilizations. Join us at our FLDWRK campus for a meal, a Socratic-style conversation with Hildegard faculty, and a special lecture.
Beauty and Brokenness with Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead
As its critical reception in its first 20 years attests, Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead is the first great novel of the 21st century. It helps us to see the beauty of creation and the ways that this beauty calls forth our response of worship. Steeped in the promises and burdens of Protestant theology, Robinson suggests that seeing the beautiful in what is broken is the first step to giving and receiving grace.
In this seminar we will join Robinson in asking the fundamental question “What is grace?”
