Pick, Director of Undergraduate Studies and Senior Lecturer in the History of Christianity, on “Pilgrimage,” pilgrimage, and writing historical fiction. Lucy Pick is a historian of medieval religious thought and practice. Her current research and teaching interests include the relationships between gender and religion, connections between historical writing and theology, development of monastic thought and practice, reading and writing as spiritual exercises, and theways in which religion shapes lives through ritual. Her book “Conflict and Coexistence: Archbishop Rodrigo and the Muslims and Jews of Thirteenth-Century Spain,” discusses Jewish, Christian, and Muslim relations in thirteenth-century Toledo. Dr. Pick is currently working on a monograph studying the intersection of gender, politics, and religion in the Middle Ages by examining the careers of royal women in early medieval Spain. Her first novel, “Pilgrimage,” was published this summer. It is a story about the Middle Ages that explores betrayal, friendship, illness, miracles, healing, and redemption on the road to Compostela. At Lunch, Dr. Pick discuses how she wrote and published a historical novel and the connection between academic writing and writing for a broader audience.Wednesday Lunch is a Divinity School tradition started many decades ago. When the quarter is in session, a delicious vegetarian meal is made in the Swift Hall kitchen by our student chefs and lunch crew on Wednesday afternoons. Once the three-course meal has reached dessert each week, there is a talk by a faculty member or student from throughout the University, a community member from the greater Chicago area, or a guest from a wider distance. Many times these talks focus on various aspects of religion in public life and the academic study of religion, but not always. Sometimes there are musical performances instead of a talk. All are welcome (you do not have to be a Divinity School student or faculty or staff to come).See more at: http://divinity.uchicago.edu/wednesday-lunch-archive
