LA302 Advanced Latin Language
This class will serve as an introduction to the Latinity of the Vulgate Bible, with a special focus on texts which figure prominently in the Church's liturgical prayer, both in the Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours, including passages from the Psalms and Gospels, and some of the most important stories from the Old Testament. The students will also become familiar with these texts by preparing brief presentations on specific aspects of them, and their role in the Church's liturgical, theological and artistic tradition. The list of subjects for these presentations will be prepared ahead of time by the instructor.
