IHE Thomistic Graduate Seminar
/The Institute for Human Ecology is inviting graduate students to make a pilgrimage to Rome in this Jubilee Year! The Holy Father has declared the 2025 Jubilee Year theme “Pilgrims of Hope.” For what do Christian pilgrims hope? The IHE Rome Seminar at the Angelicum seeks a robustly theological answer to this question in this jubilee year of pilgrimage. In order to theologically reflect on the significance of this ecclesially promulgated jubilee theme at the intellectual service of the Church, admitted graduate students will spend a week studying the doctrine of the beatific vision, the highest and ultimate object of Christian hope. Topics will include: Aristotle and Aquinas on Nous, Intellection of Angels and Separated Souls, The Triune Perfection of the Imago Dei: the Theological Virtues and Beatitude, Saint Albert and Saint Thomas’s Theories of Vision and Beatitude, Deiformity in Grace and Glory, and the Natural Desire to See God.
