Dr Nicola Hoggard-Creegan, New Zealand Christians in Science (NZCIS) director, will teach a Theology and Science online course at University of Otago.
Explore the historical and contemporary relationship between Christian theology and science, focusing on key interactions, historical landmarks, and current issues in biology, physics, ecology, bioethics, and AI.
The relationship between Christian theology and science has for the most part been a rich and constructive one, occasional tensions notwithstanding.
