The lecture not only characterizes the phenomenon of Catholic culture writ large as having to do with the human desire for God and the welcoming of all that is proper to the life of the human being, but also articulates the relationship between ethics and culture—and, put more strongly, an ethics of culture—specifically within the context of liberal arts education.

Randall B. Smith returns to the studio to discuss his book, "From Here to Eternity: Reflections on Death, Immortality, and the Resurrection of the Body." We chat about how the incarnation of Jesus instituted a radical new way of understanding the universal experience of death. Special Guest: Randall Smith. Links: Randall Smith's professional homepage — Randall Smith is a Full Professor with tenure at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas. He holds a Ph.D. in Medieval Studies and Philosophy and an M.M.S. from the University of Notre Dame, as well as an M.A. in Theology from the University of Dallas. His interests include Moral Theology, Patristic and Medieval Theology, Ancient and Medieval Philosophy, Faith and Culture, Theology and Science. Book: From Here to Eternity: Reflections on Death, Immortality, and the Resurrection of the Body — Throughout history and across cultures, people have shared the hope and the belief that somehow something about the human person survives death. Indeed, it seems that without a notion of life-after-death, this life would seem meaningless. If, in the end, everything we have strived for and all our love comes to naught and is simply swallowed up by nothingness, then what was the point of it all? In From Here to Eternity, Randall Smith shows how the Christian doctrines regarding the resurrection of the body and the communion of saints provide an understanding of life after death as a meaningful fulfillment of this life, not a negation of it.

Special Guest: Gary Anderson. Links: Gary Anderson: Faculty Page — Notre Dame Department of Theology That I May Dwell Among Them: Incarnation and Atonement in the Tabernacle Narrative — The Tabernacle Narrative comprises passages in Exodus and Leviticus that detail the construction, furnishing, and liturgical use of the tabernacle. Given its genre and style, the narrative is often passed over by those reading Scripture for theological insight. But what can these complex passages reveal about Christ? Gary Anderson shows how these passages shed light on incarnation and atonement both in ancient Israel’s theology and in Christian theology. Does God "Break Bad" in the Old Testament? - dCEC 2017 Fall Conference — Keynote address given at the 2017 Notre Dame Fall Conference by Gary Anderson (Notre Dame).
