They did an amazing job this year! We had a great mix of hand drawn, collage, and digitally designed musical representations this year.

    Support Gutenberg this Giving Tuesday! In recent Support Gutenberg this Giving Tuesday!

In recent times, education has become equated with preparation to make a good living. Education at Gutenberg College hearkens back to an earlier and more universal understanding—namely, that education is preparation to live a good life. 

Gutenberg is both reassuringly safe and deeply dangerous. It is safe because students can explore difficult questions in a nurturing community without fear of ostracism or judgment. It is dangerous because questions open the path to destinations unknown. As millions across the country support their favorite charity on November 29th, we encourage you to support Gutenberg students on their journey of faith.

    In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you ru In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you run through waving fields of grass, climb frigid mountains, and cross expansive, sandy deserts. With its huge, open world to explore, it is no wonder that it has appeared on lists of the best video games of all time. But, of course, no matter how realistic the game is, the world you are exploring is not real… or is it? What about the beauty of the landscape and the rightness of defending the world from evil—are these real? Are you having real fun while you fight and explore? What does it mean for something to be real, anyway? (Could the fields and mountains even be real in some sense???) Finally, if video games are not as real as the world we live in, does this mean that playing them is a waste of time? If you like video games and you like to ask questions, come join us—this session is for you.

Join us for “Reality in Nintendo’s Breath of the Wild” on Thursday, December 1, from 4-6 p.m. PST via Zoom. Registration fee: $15

Young Philosophers is an online discussion for high-school-aged students. This installment is led by Gutenberg tutor Brian Julian. Participants should have played Breath of the Wild enough to have some familiarity with it, although they do not need to have completed the game. (For the record, the instructor has defeated Calamity Ganon, solved all 120 shrines, and obtained the Master Cycle Zero, but he has not found every korok.)

“For a grand symphony made up of individual notes, both conductor and musicians must perform their parts well to create beautiful music. So it is with reading the Bible."

 In this article, Chris talks about the complexities of reading the Bible and some of the reasoning that informs the inclusion of the Bible in the Gutenberg Curriculum.
