Reading Groups

MacLaurin Reading Groups are interdisciplinary conversations designed to foster and sustain scholarly conversation on enduring human questions. A new component of our programming as of 2010, Reading Groups introduce members of the University community and leaders in the Christian community to new (and occasionally old) scholarship relevant to Christian thought. See below for past groups, and stay tuned for ten new Reading Groups this next academic year!

For more information on Reading Groups or for how to propose a topic or book for study, please call or email the Institute.
