The Vision of God
24-31 May 2025 | The Angelicum, Rome, Italy
The theme for the Jubilee Year 2025 is “Pilgrims of Hope.” For what do Christian pilgrims hope? The IHE Rome Seminar seeks an answer to this question in this jubilee year. In order to theologically reflect on the significance of this theme at the intellectual service of the Church, IHE graduate students will spend a week studying the doctrine of the beatific vision, the highest and ultimate object of Christian hope. More details about topic and speakers forthcoming.
