From October 4th 2023 to January 17th 2024
The course intends:
a) to examine those contemporary scientific results and perspectives that seem to challenge our religious and theological worldview
b) to show the significance of the discourse on God in scientific culture.
The faith in God the creator of heaven and earth and the Christian proclamation of the Incarnation of the Word are assessed against the background of our knowledge of the physical cosmos, and of the evolutionary history of life and humankind on earth.
The course includes both an epistemological perspective – preliminary to the dialogue between science, philosophy and theology – and a historical perspective highlighting how those three fields of knowledge have interacted reciprocally.
