TMST8146 · Theology and Ministry
Clough School of Theology and Ministry
The course examines selected questions in theologys dialogue with the natural sciences. Is it possible to embrace both science and Christian faith? Does science undermine human responsibility and freedom? How do scientific understandings of time relate to the question of Gods eternity? In what ways does God act in the world of nature and how does this relate to the history of salvation? These and other questions are selected to demonstrate how the dialogue between science and theology both informs and challenges contemporary theological thinking. The main dialogue partners in this course are modern physics, cognitive sciences, and evolutionary science.
