Description:

Science and technology have changed the ways religious traditions have grasped what they stood for and how they spread their messages. Religion has influenced the directions taken by science, as witnessed in the latest debate over stem cell research; the sciences, in turn, have helped shape the content and the strategies of religious groups, evident in such concerns as nuclear arms and the phenomenon of televangelism. This course explores the topic as an ongoing dialogue between the two ways of thinking. Briggs
