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:2023 Education Conference: Faith and Learning
DESCRIPTION:In the last few centuries\, the intellectual world has slowly but steadily abandoned Christianity\, offering alternate secular perspectives to life’s most important questions. As a result\, Christian educators have become suspicious of “academia” and often seek to protect children from secular learning. In this conference\, we will explore the dual goals of pursuing learning and promoting faith. How do we foster faith\, encourage an interest in truth\, model confidence and humility\, and avoid rebellion—all while embedded in a hostile world? Because truth is faith’s greatest ally\, we can embrace open and honest inquiry\, trusting God to turn hearts to Him. \nGo here for details.\nRegister Here for EdCon 2023Sign Up for Conference Update Emails

SUMMARY:Religion in The Mandalorian
DESCRIPTION:Religion plays a major role in the storylines of The Mandalorian. Din Djarin adheres to the way of the Mandalorians even when this is difficult. Grogu is forced to choose between the religions of the Jedi and the Mandalorians. Bo Katan ridicules the religiously observant Children of the Watch\, who never let their faces be seen\, but a startling experience shakes her convictions. These stories raise a host of questions. What is religion? Is it primarily about practices or about beliefs? Does it have anything to do with truth? Can I be born into a religion\, or do I have to choose it? Is Christianity a religion? We will ask these questions and more as we both enjoy talking about the Star Wars universe and engage in deep thought about religion. This is the way.\n  \nYoung Philosophers is an online discussion for high-school-aged students. Join us for “Religion in The Mandalorian” on Thursday\, September 14\, from 4-6 p.m. Pacific time. The discussion will be led by Gutenberg tutor Brian Julian. Participants will get the most out of the class if they are familiar with seasons 1-3 of The Mandalorian as well as the Din Djarin and Grogu-focused episodes (5\, 6\, 7) of The Book of Boba Fett.\nAttendee Requirements: High-school age\nMaximum Attendees: 12 \nMore about Young Philosophers \nRegister Here for Zoom AttendanceBrian Julian joined the Gutenberg College faculty in 2021 after having taught philosophy and writing for several years at colleges in the Boston area. He holds a B.A. in liberal arts from Gutenberg College and a Ph.D. in philosophy from Boston University. He specializes in the history of philosophy and has published research on Aristotle. He writes (and cartoons) for Thinking in the Light\, a website where he aims to make philosophical ideas accessible to a general audience.

SUMMARY:Theology in Tolkien’s Silmarillion

SUMMARY:Propaganda in Super Bowl Commercials
DESCRIPTION:We may be inclined to think of propaganda as “lies” fired between political parties during elections. But propaganda is much more pervasive\, spilling over the boundaries of partisan politics into many aspects of our lives. What exactly is propaganda? How does it work? And\, most importantly\, what impact does propaganda have on our personal psychology and the culture at large? “Propaganda ceases where simple dialogue begins\,” wrote French sociologist Jacques Ellul in his book Propaganda. In this session of Young Philosophers\, we will engage in dialogue as we investigate the use\, function\, and impact of propaganda in the 2024 Super Bowl commercials.\n\nYoung Philosophers is an online discussion for high-school-aged students. Join us for “Propaganda in Super Bowl Commercials” on Thursday\, February 15\, from 4-6 p.m. Pacific time. The discussion will be led by Gutenberg tutor Eliot Grasso. Participants are encouraged to watch and think about some commercials from the 2024 Super Bowl before class.\nAttendee Requirements: High-school age\nMaximum Attendees: 12 \nMore about Young Philosophers \nRegister Here for Zoom AttendanceEliot Grasso is the vice president and a tutor at Gutenberg College where he teaches art seminars and leads discussions in Western Civilization and the Great Conversation.

SUMMARY:Alumni Reunion 2024
DESCRIPTION:This Summer\, on Friday and Saturday July 12th and 13th\, Gutenberg alumni are invited to participate in a Gutenberg Alumni Reunion here at the college. A small group of alumni are working together on planning this event and will have a more detailed schedule of events ready to send to you in the next month or two. To register click the registration button below. \nWhether we’ve been part of Gutenberg from the beginning or graduated last fall\, I don’t think any of us would be quite who we are today without the little school on University Street. That’s just one part of our story\, though. We’re all still learning and growing. This summer\, at the alumni reunion\, we will have the chance to share in that ongoing journey and to reconnect and encourage each other. We will also have the chance to make new friendships and connections and to enjoy some good food and (of course) great conversations. \nPlease join us July 12th & 13th at Gutenberg College. We hope to see you there! \nRegister for the Reunion

SUMMARY:January 6: Mere Christianity
DESCRIPTION:C. S. Lewis endeavored to explain the essence of Christianity to a general audience through a series of radio broadcasts\, an endeavor which resulted in Mere Christianity. Though Lewis discusses questions and issues familiar to most Christians\, he appeals frequently to every person’s common experience–rather than theological proofs–to explain the faith.

SUMMARY:2025 Winter Institute:Hope Amidst the Odyssey of These Days
DESCRIPTION:At various times throughout the Old Testament\, God abandoned the Israelites as a result of their sinfulness and idolatry. In their suffering and despair\, their only hope was to cry out to God for salvation\, and He\, in His mercy\, would rescue them. \nIn a penetrating analysis of these days\, Jacques Ellul concludes that our culture is in such a period of abandonment characterized by widespread suffering and despair. While God still works in the hearts of His faithful\, the culture at large struggles with false hope or no hope at all. \nThe Winter Institute will explore these questions through several readings\, discussions\, lectures\, and the art exhibit “The Odyssey of These Days.” We will examine the biblical perspective on the hopes of the world and hope in God—how we as Christians can navigate our own odyssey in seemingly hopeless times. \nGo here for details.\nRegisterSign Up for Conference Update Emails

SUMMARY:2025 Education Conference:Teacher as Mentor
DESCRIPTION:Modern education often presents teachers as specialists tasked with imparting expert knowledge to students. Yet the focus of a specialist in pursuit of imparting facts and information too often becomes overly narrow and overlooks the development of the whole student. This kind of oversight can leave a graduate with major blind spots in his or her understanding and outlook. By contrast\, the teacher as mentor embraces the project of delivering more than subject-specific content and works to cultivate the moral\, spiritual\, and intellectual health of the whole student. In this education conference\, we will explore the nature and practices of mentorship in pursuit of equipping students with tools\, skills\, and wisdom to live faithfully before God. \nSign up for “Conference Update Emails” to receive news of the 2025 Education Conference: Teacher as Mentor. \nGo Here for Conference UpdatesSign Up for Conference Update EmailsRegister for EDCON 2025\nI attended my first Gutenberg Education conference in the summer of 2023 and was surprised by the quality of the conference. Because of that experience\, our school brought 13 faculty and staff in the summer of 2024. The conference was once again exceptional\, affording us an excellent team-building road trip! Both conferences were relaxing and challenging\, the speakers were knowledgeable and approachable\, and the schedule was full\, including a great variety of topics and presenters. The hospitality–food\, coffee\, organization–was wonderful\, and our school was very well taken care of.
