TRS 0129 HONORS - THEOLOGY AND SCIENCE

Institution:

Rosemont College

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the relationship between theology and science with the goal of equipping the student with appropriate tools for evaluating and clarifying views of real world situations that appear to present disparate theological and scientific viewpoints Are they in conflict, in conversation, or dynamically integrated in human beings' pursuit of truth? The first part of the course will explore questions concerning science and theology through an examination of the distinct approaches and goals of each discipline, the philosophical tools that have facilitated their interaction throughout history, and selected primary readings in ancient and medieval thought. In the second part of the course we will analyze how, in light of developments of modern science, specific contemporary contributions (e.g., cosmology, evolutionary theory, and neurobiology) are engaged with theological contributions (e.g., doctrine of God, revelation, creation, grace, theological anthropology, and eschatology). While theological emphasis will be on Christian theology, other theological disciplines will be incorporated as appropriate.
