GM 133 Kleine Uebung: Geist und Gnade (Fall: 2)
Prerequisite:
GM 051 or equivalent
Offered Periodically
Conducted in German
A German-language study and meditation group looking at: German-language
liturgical texts and hymns; the German Bible; texts from pietistic and mystical
writers, including church cantatas set by J.S. Bach; works of German theologicans,
especially Hans Urs von Balthasar and Joseph Ratzinger; some Christian classics
in German translation. This course requires a knowledge of German grammar
sufficient to deal with texts of at least intermediate difficulty and a
strong interest in exploring the riches of the German-language Christian
spiritual tradition.
