Great Courses: Science and Religion

The Comparative Religions group is holding a twelve-session course, June-August, on Tuesdays from 7-8 p.m. It is an 30 minute online lecture survey of historical materials using The Great Courses, followed by an open discussion.

• The topic is Science and Religion with Dr. Lawrence M. Principe, the Drew Professor of the Humanities at Johns Hopkins University. 
• What is the nature of the relationship between science and religion? When do they conflict? And how do they influence each other in the pursuit of knowledge and truth? These 12 engaging lectures cover both the historical sweep and philosophical flashpoints of this epic interaction. You'll encounter a surprisingly cooperative dynamic in which theologians and natural scientists - from St. Augustine to Sir Isaac Newton to contemporary thinkers - share methods, ideas, aspirations, and a tradition of disputational dialogue.
