Study Groups
Søren Kierkegaard
Join us for weekly conversations about books we find significant.

We meet on Fridays at 2pm in the T.I. To learn more, email Jarrett Knight at jwknig@email.wm.edu.
Genesis (and coffee)
This group meets Friday mornings at 7am in College Church to study the Genesis, one of the oldest and most fascinating books in the Bible. It includes free coffee (good coffee). For more information, email Jarrett Knight at jwknig@email.wm.edu.
The Righteous Mind
Jonathan Haidt’s popular book examines the different kinds of moral concern that tend to move people toward the political left or right. Join us in discussing it on Tuesdays from 3:30-4:30 in the T.I. This group is co-led by Dr. Torrance Fung of the Philosophy Department. For more information, email Jarrett Knight at jwknig@email.wm.edu.
Christianity and Capitalism
In this group, we’ll be reading essays by Paul Heyne and Wendell Berry (and possibly others) to get some ideas about how Christianity does or does not fit easily with our capitalist economy. The group meets from 4pm-5pm in the T.I. and is co-led by Dr. Trey Carson of the Economics and Business Department. For more information, email Jarrett Knight at jwknig@email.wm.edu.
Till We Have Faces (Longwood)
