| Description | Teaching Objective: Although a theology of nature is necessarily founded on historical revelation and religious experience, it should be consistent with scientific evidence. Modern science shows that nature is a long dynamic evolutionary process governed by law and chance. This evolutionary worldview should be integrated with our religious beliefs concerning nature and its relation with God and humanity. In this course, we will examine theological doctrines such as creation, providence and human nature in the light of contemporary sciences. Teaching Content: 1. What is science? 2. The medieval worldview? The theology of Thomas Aquinas 3. Ways of relating science and religion 4. History of science and Christianity since the Middle Ages 5.
