What can Joan of Arc, Rose of Lima, Theresa of Avila, and other women saints teach us regardless of our religious background? Their life stories have provided inspiration for men and women for centuries. Their strategies of resistance and accommodation to authority and normative women’s roles are still relevant today despite their different historical and cultural contexts. Their involvement in the political and socio-cultural realities of their time reveal characters very different from the trite depiction of saints as silent and submissive. We’ll look at the lives and writings of some remarkable women who can still be role models for 21st century men and women seeking answers for present-day questions.

There are only rare appearances of Satan (the “devil”) in the Old Testament. We will look at those appearances and explore how the people of the Old Testament explained the presence of evil in their world, and how their idea grew and developed over time. Where does this idea of a separate source of evil come from and what is the relationship of God to this evil? To fill out the picture, we will examine some of the “intertestamental literature” that was produced after the Old Testament and before the New Testament.

What are millennials like, and how different are they from prior generations? (Hint: VERY).
