I didn't really forget that I signed up to audit a couple of summer classes at St. Elizabeth's but I forgot to pay for them. I wish that I could pay online.

The first class, next week, is this:

THEO 643 - Christian Spirituality and Prayer
with Dr. Adele J. Gonzalez
Graduate Credit or Audit - 1 credit

A study of the history of the major spiritual movements in Christianity and the different prayer forms they generated. Emphasis will be placed on important issues in the development of a contemporary spirituality, e.g. forgiveness, reconciliation and fear.

Dr. Adele J. Gonzalez is the founder and president of Get-With-It, an organization committed to human and spiritual growth through the fostering of healthy relationships with self, others, the world and God. She is also an Adjunct Theology professor at Barry University, Miami, FL, and a national speaker in the areas of spirituality, lay ministry and multiculturalism.

and the textbooks are Thirsty for God and Life of the Beloved

The second class is this:

THEO 646 - Survey of Exilic Prophecy in Israel
with Rev. Lawrence Boadt
Graduate Credit or Audit - 1 credit

A study of the background for the great prophets of the exile in the Seventh and Sixth Centuries, B.C.E.: Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Second Isaiah, and a detailed examination of their writings and those of the prophets Zephaniah, Nahum, and Habakkuk.

Rev. Lawrence Boadt is the President of Paulist Press in Mahwah, NJ. He has authored several books on the Bible and is professor emeritus of Sacred Scripture at the Washington Theological Union.

with no textbooks. Fr. Boadt will distribute handouts.

I'll probably ask him to autograph his article in my copy of the NJBC. I asked him to on an earlier occasion but, since he had just signed my copy of Reading the Old Testament, he declined and said modestly "one per customer".
