The Carondelet Center, built in 1912 by French-born
architect Emmanuel Louis Masqueray, is a stately stone
and brick building that originally served as the
Novitiate for the Sisters of St. Joseph. Today it
provides a quiet place of rest, prayer, and reflection
for individuals and groups on retreat and as a
conference center for small to mid-sized groups.
Carondelet Center is a ministry of the Sisters of St.
Joseph of Carondelet, St. Paul Province. (www.csjstpaul.org) |
TOPICS |

Lecture 1: Food Offered to
Idols in Roman Corinth
Dr. John Fotopoulos (Saint Mary's College, Notre
Dame) examines temples and cults in Roman Corinth to
ascertain locations, attractions, and meanings for
formal sacrificial food consumption. He also uses
ancient rhetorical theory to argue that St. Paul's
instructions in 1 Cor. 8:1-11 are a coherent prohibition
of intentional idol-food consumption.
Lecture 2: When Worlds
Collide: Archaeology and the Bible and the Case of
Bethsaida-Tzer
Dr. Nicolae Roddy (Creighton University) discusses
his work at the Bethsaida Excavations, the site of a
recently rediscovered city located near the northern
shore of the biblical Sea of Galilee. Bethsaida lay
abandoned and in ruins, covered over by the dust of the
ages until its rediscovery and identification in the
early 1990s.
Panel Discussion: Biblical
Scholarship for Non-scholars
Panelists: Very Rev. Dr. Paul N. Tarazi (St.
Vladimir's Seminary) Dr. John Fotopoulos, Dr. Nicolae
Roddy
