RELST 320 - Science and Religion

Institution:

Virginia Wesleyan University

Subject:

Description:

Centers around two main questions: What has been the impact of science on theology, and are science and religion incompatible? The first question is primarily historical. We examine key advances in the history of science (the heliocentric theory of the universe and evolution, for example) and theological responses to them. The second question is primarily philosophical. In each case, discussions take their departure from the issues raised in important primary texts. Prerequisite: junior/senior status, or at least one course in the natural sciences or consent. Offered intermittently.
