The Works of Mercy
Daniel Bornstein, Darrow Professor of Catholic Studies, Director of Religious Studies
This lecture is part of the February 2012 MLA Seminar Series, “The Quality of Mercy,” hosted by the University College in Arts & Sciences. Last year’s series examined “The Value of Justice”; this year’s series is focused on justice’s frequent partner, complement, or antithesis: Mercy. The series will consider the concept and practice of mercy from several disciplinary directions, including politics, medicine, religious studies, and literature.
