A comparison of their spiritual experience and writings comes naturally and provides for \u201cpleasant surprises and unexpected fruits\u201d, as Balthasar wrote.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Offer a method for the critical analysis of theological texts, in particular those of the two Saints; increase the students\u2019 capacity of dialoguing in theological terms, as well as their reasoning abilities and group-working skills as an \u201cacademic community\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After two introductory lectures on St. Th\u00e9r\u00e8se and St. Elizabeth, the students will be guided in analyzing and discussing various writings of the two saints (Lessons 3-11). The last lesson will be dedicated to brief presentations done by the students regarding the topics discussed during the Seminar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Method<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each week, the students will receive a PDF with 15-20 selected pages of the two Saints\u2019 writings, together with a questionnaire to guide their personal study. The selected writings will then be read, analyzed, and discussed together in the classroom each week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Criteria for evaluation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The final grade will be based on two factors: each student\u2019s active participation in the classroom discussions, as well as the one-page final summary (which form 50% of the final grade), and a paper from 8-10 pages in length (which is also worth 50% of the final grade).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time distribution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>24 hours of classroom discussion; about 25 hours of personal study; about 26 hours of personal study for the final paper, for a sum total of 75 hours of study time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Essential bibliography<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Saint Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face, Story of a Soul: Study Edition; Letters<em> of St. Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of Lisieux.
