Title: Magical Texts in Early Christianity

Dr. Gerard McLarney
Sessional Instructor, St. Joseph's College

Title: St. Augustine on the Psalms
Recent research has explored how past interpretation of Sacred Scripture can assist in contextualizing current interpretation as well as provide a more colourful and theologically meaningful understanding of the Bible. This talk examines Augustine of Hippo's interpretation of the Psalms of Ascent, and seeks to understand how Augustine allows his audiences to enter into the inner dynamism and life of scripture.

Light refreshments will be served.

An RSVP is requested but not required to: sara.mckeon@ualberta.ca
