RS 450 3RV - Perspectives in Science & Religion


Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

Preeminent among modern human quests are the disciplines of science and religion. One seeks insight into the natural world; the other looks for value and meaning within this world and the life it sustains. In this course we will explore the relationship between the two from a historical perspective, then move on to an examination of their interaction in the modern world. We seek to identify perspectives on this relationship that will show how one has implications for the other, the places where developments in one may benefit the other, and the possibility that the two can work together to build a just and compassionate world.


Prerequisite(s): COR 2, senior status or permission of the instructor.
