This seminar will be led by Dr. Ryan McDermott (English, University of Pittsburgh).

What does it mean to read the Bible "morally"? Is this simply a theoretical exercise of discovering moral precepts? In this seminar, Professor McDermott will introduce the medieval practice of turning words into works, of making readers moral agents through the re-narration of Biblical stories.

Readings: The Ordinary Gloss on Jonah and Matthew: 12:38-42
