Advent Prophets—An Exploration into God's Word

The prophetic literature contains some of the most spiritually rewarding material in the Old Testament. At the same time, the prophets pose a number of unique challenges to those who read them and encounter them in the liturgy. In this lecture, Dr. Harry Nasuti, Professor of Old Testament at Fordham University, will explore some ways of experiencing the power and beauty of these important texts. The lecture will pay particular attention to the prophetic readings that play such a significant role in our liturgies during the Advent season.

Time: December 11, 2011, 1:00-3:00 p.m. (“Coffee and” at 12:30)
Place: The Archdiocesan Center at St. Thomas Seminary
