THE 642 Christian Contributions to Science
A brief history of the philosophy of science from the Levant, Arabia, and Europe frames this course. The focus of the course is the theological and philosophical principles that led to the growth of modern science in Christian Europe; the harmony and ruptures among theology, Church, and science; the partial break in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; and currents and developments in science and the Christian tradition to the present. Classes may be taught in an in-class, hybrid, or online format and have set times that require virtual participation. (May be taught concurrently with THE 245)
