Scope and content
File consists of typed original handouts related to studying the Word. It is possible these handouts were made for Nouwen's Introduction to the Spiritual Life courses. The packet includes handouts with the following titles: Listening to the Word, Speaking the Word, Reading the Word, Writing the Word. Nouwen gives his reflections on the topic, and quotes many different Bible verses in his discussions. These handouts were used in a course taught at Boston College in 1985, as well as a course taught at Harvard. This particular collection is likely Nouwen's original copy, and the handouts in other files were made from this copy.
