New Sunday morning 9:00 study to begin Jan. 6

Science and Religion (12 DVD lectures), taught by Prof. Lawrence M. Principe, acclaimed Professor of the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology, and Professor of Chemistry at Johns Hopkins University.

Two crucial forces, science and religion, helped shape Western civilization and continue to interact in our daily lives.  The traditional relationship of science and religion is too often obscured by the divisive, hot-headed rhetoric and the gross oversimplifications we often see in today's headlines. What is the nature of their relationship? When do they conflict, and how do they influence each other in pursuit of knowledge and truth?

Professor Principe unfolds a historical perspective on the science/religion relationship. which shows a surprisingly cooperative dynamic in which theologians and natural scientists share methods, ideas, aspirations, and a tradition of disputational dialogue. This study will help you participate more effectively in a dialogue on the subject with ideas that are as immediate and thought-provoking today as they were hundreds of years ago.
