SUMMARY:2023 Summer Institute: God Is Alive
DESCRIPTION:Over a century ago\, Friedrich Nietzsche famously declared that God is dead. He observed that Western culture no longer accepted the idea of God\, and he noted that its values and practices would eventually reflect this. We now live in a world that conforms in many ways to his prediction. \nBut as Christians we know—even if the culture doesn’t reflect it—that God is very much alive. What difference\, then\, should this make in the way we think and act? At Gutenberg’s 2023 Summer Institute\, we will examine several aspects of our world and our lives—science\, ethics\, psychology\, community—and we will consider the ways a belief in God should impact our thinking about them. Why are some differences we see between Christians and non-Christians so pronounced? In what ways might we be absorbing views that implicitly reject God? How can we be encouraged by recognizing God’s relevance to every area of our lives? Join us July 20-22 for book discussions\, talks from Gutenberg tutors\, good food\, and great conversations. \nGo here for details.\nRegister Here for SI 2023Sign Up for Conference Update Emails

SUMMARY:Summer Institute 2022:Stories of ConversionJuly 28-30
DESCRIPTION:Since its beginning\, a prominent aspect of Christianity has been the conversion narrative. Sometimes dramatic\, sometimes mundane\, these accounts tell the stories of how particular individuals committed their lives to Christ. For the 2022 Summer Institute\, we will read several of these accounts from throughout history\, and we will think about how these stories of particular people living in contexts that differ from our own might nevertheless impact our thinking now. What should we do with the inescapably personal aspects of these stories—can they still speak to someone who is considering Christianity? How can these stories provide encouragement to those who have been Christians for a while already? Is having a conversion experience necessary for being a Christian? Join us July 28-30 for discussions\, talks\, and food\, as we contemplate together these stories of conversion. \nGo here for more details.

SUMMARY:Summer Institute 2021:The Meaning of the City:Rebellion and RedemptionJuly 29-31
DESCRIPTION:They said\, “Come\, let us build for ourselves a city\, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven\, and let us make for ourselves a name.” (Genesis 11:4)\nFor many of us\, the city is the water we swim in: having grown up and lived our lives in an urban environment\, we take it for granted. This summer\, we will explore the nature of the city from both spiritual and material perspectives. How does urbanity affect our core assumptions about life and God? Does it help or impede our walk of faith? And most importantly\, how can we live a life of obedience in an urban context? To aid us on our journey\, we will be reading excerpts from biblical authors\, Augustine\, Lewis Mumford\, and Jacques Ellul\, all of whom offer penetrating insights into the matter\, including the surprising claim that cities have a spiritual aspect we should not ignore. Come join us at Summer Institute 2021 to study The Meaning of the City. \nGo here for more details.

SUMMARY:Summer Institute 2020:Struggle & Hope
DESCRIPTION:“In the world you have trouble\, but take courage; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). \nLife is hard. Most literature and art produced by human beings over the centuries is about suffering\, troubles\, and struggle. We all experience such troubles in our own lives. And of course\, this is one of the major themes explored in the Bible. “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14: 22). And yet Paul tells us that we also exult in those tribulations (Romans 5:3). The struggle of faith is in part a struggle to hold on to meaning and hope in the face of the sufferings brought upon us by the world\, by each other\, and by ourselves. Join us at this year’s Summer Institute to explore the challenge of growing in hope as we face the struggles of life. \nGo here for more details.

SUMMARY:Summer Institute 2019: Tribes and Truth
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all witnessed how incivility and disparagement are increasingly dominant in public discourse. Whether it be news\, social media\, or personal conversations\, the rhetoric is ratcheting up. This summer Gutenberg would like to explore why this is happening and how a Christian might respond. We will not try to convince you of a particular political viewpoint or offer the definitive solution. Instead\, together we will dig under the surface to gain a fresh understanding of the social and philosophical forces at play so that we can answer this question for ourselves: Where do our loyalties lie\, with tribe or truth? \nSummer Institute is an enjoyable and informative time to experience Gutenberg by sharing meals\, discussing the works of influential thinkers\, and listening to speakers from the Gutenberg community.
