Center for Lifelong Learning offers a monthly discussion group
on Theology and Literature. Novels and other types of literature,
closely read, give us opportunities to think theologically about
the world in which we live. They also put us in touch with writers
who think theologically about the world, though in ways often far
different from those of systematic theologians.
The monthly Theology and Literature study group is an opportunity
to learn to read with theological discernment. This group focuses
on a range of literary works, asking questions about the presence
or absence of God in the worlds the authors have created and what
that may say about how we meet God in our own worlds.
The group meets the first Tuesday of each month, 7:30 p.m., in the
Harrington Center on the Columbia Seminary campus.
Note: The November 2008 meeting of this study group is the SECOND Tuesday, November 11th. We have newcomers
every month, so you are welcome to join at any time during the year.

wish only to receive the monthly announcements.
