Are you looking for intelligent conversation about great books? Join us this summer for our seminar series on faith in fiction and philosophy. We meet Monday evenings in July and August to discuss the new translation of Georges Bernanos’ novel Diary of a Country Priest, Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling, and Chaim Grade’s story “My Quarrel With Hersh Rasseyner”. The format of the seminars is simple: read the assigned section of the book before you arrive and come up with a short question about the reading. Registration links and reading schedules are below.All seminars are held in downtown Fairhaven: 1106 Harris Ave., Suite 307.
Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling offers a philosophical exploration of faith in the story of Abraham and Isaac. Reading schedule:
