SUMMARY:Transformation in Christ
DESCRIPTION:Reading Group\n\n\n\nOctober 1\, 8\, 15\, 22 \n\n\n\n\nA four-week reading group through selections from Transformation in Christ with Dan Sheffler.\n\n\n\nThe group will meet over Zoom on Thursdays in October (October 1\, 8\, 15\, 22) from 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM EDT. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Text\n\n\n\nRecognized as a modern spiritual classic and perhaps Dietrich von Hildebrand’s greatest work\, Transformation in Christ is a sublime and practical study\, giving a penetrating analysis of the true path to holiness for those who love Christ. The first requisite is the person’s desire for change\, and with that fundamental attitude in mind\, Hildebrand devotes a chapter to each of the successive spiritual attitudes necessary for those who strive for Christian perfection. The Beatitudes are treated with beauty and depth in an uncompromising challenge to every serious Christian to put into practice these teachings of Christ. \n\n\n\nFormat\n\n\n\nThe meeting will be conducted live in Zoom. Links for the session will be sent out ahead of time. \n\n\n\nTo allow for rich discussion\, the group is limited in size to a maximum of 20 participants. Once the group is full\, additional registrations will be placed on a waitlist. \n\n\n\nAll participants are expected to have a copy of the text and to come prepared to each session having done the weekly reading (15-45 pages per week). The weekly reading schedule will be e-mailed to you. \n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDT Sheffler is a philosopher who specializes in the history of the concept of the person. He was profoundly touched by reading Martin Buber’s I and Thou as a teenager and\, a few years later\, Christian personalists\, especially Dietrich von Hildebrand and Karol Wojtyła. This combined with a passionate interest in Ancient philosophy and patristic thought to produce an investigation into the origins of personalism and the foundations for the insights achieved in the twentieth century. This led to doctoral work on Plato’s conception of the self and the soul as a way to understand the pre-Christian background of early Christian thought. He has also continued his research of personalism\, especially the thought of Dietrich von Hildebrand and has participated in the Hildebrand Project in various ways since 2015. Dan lives in Louisville with his wife and three children where he teaches philosophy at Memoria College. \n\n\n\n\n\nCosts\n\n\n\nReading groups are free to attend. \n\n\n\nIf you are able\, we invite you to make a donation to help defray the costs of organizing (reading groups cost the Hildebrand Project ~$900 for a four-week group). We are committed to making reading groups accessible to all; therefore\, participation is not contingent on a donation. \n\n\n\nYour gift support this reading group\, our publications\, web resources\, and other events\, all of which contribute to bringing the vital\, life-giving witness of personalist philosophy into new and uncertain times. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel: \n\n\n\nSuitable for beginner to intermediate: primarily discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\nReadings:\n\n\n\nWeek 1: Chapters 3 and 4Week 2: Chapter 6Week 3: Chapter 9Week 4: Chapter 10 \n\n\n\n\n\nTime:\n\n\n\n5:00 PM – 6:00 PM EDT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now
