TRS 651C Evolution and Its Theological Implications
The goal of this course is to provide students with the intellectual tools necessary for a dynamic and fruitful Christian spiritual life and ministry in an evolutionary universe. Science itself has an important insight to present to theology, by showing the complexity, the grandeur, and yet the mathematical simplicity of the universe we inhabit, with whatever conclusions one can draw from that about the nature of God. God works "in and through" the divinely created universe. Scientific discoveries are presented in order to enhance understanding of such important traditional theological topics as divine activity, suffering, original sin, prayer, love and other virtues.
