Artists, Scientists and Theologians in Conversation

Semester 2
Night Class
Available Online

This unit explores some of the tensions that surface between representatives of disciplines broadly gathered under the umbrella labels: the Arts, the Sciences and Theology. Various bi-lateral and tri-lateral conversations will be stimulated by critical attention to the formative ideas of artists and art critics, scientists and mathematicians, and theologians and philosophers. This unit questions the apparent inevitability of such inter-disciplinary tensions, and rests on the premise that there is an urgent need for Christian apologists to develop the kind of skills that enable them to broker inter-disciplinary dialogues.
