SUMMARY:Modern Science and Christian Faith for Undergraduates
DESCRIPTION:APPLY HERE\nThe goal of this seminar is to provide students with the background knowledge and conceptual tools necessary to understand and think clearly about the relation of science and faith. This will help them to integrate scientific and theological ways of understanding in their own thinking\, and make it possible for them to help others (including their future colleagues and students) to achieve such integration. The overarching goal is to help develop a cadre of people with a broad and informed understanding of these issues who can be the nucleus from which wider outreach efforts might grow. \nAmong the topics discussed will be the historical relationship of the Church and science; the relation of faith and reason; evidence for God in the existence and order of the cosmos; God and nature; primary and secondary causality; the supernatural and miracles; modern physics and natural theology; creation and providence; the beginning of the universe and modern cosmology; God and time; human origins and human distinctiveness; rationality\, freedom\, and the soul; physicalist reductionism and the human mind; Genesis and scriptural interpretation; biological evolution; biology and human nature; and the Fall\, original sin and concupiscence. \nPreparatory readings will include excerpts from: \n\nModern Physics and Ancient Faith (Stephen M. Barr)\nThe Believing Scientist (Stephen M. Barr)\nThomistic Evolution (Fr. Nicanor Austriaco et al.)\nScience and Belief in a Nuclear Age (Peter E. Hodgson)\nGod’s Mechanics (Br. Guy Consolmagno)\nGod and Reason in the Middle Ages (Edward Grant)\nGalileo Goes to Jail and Other Myths about Science and Religion (ed. Ronald L. Numbers)\nMind and Cosmos (Thomas Nagel)\nThe Faith of the Early Fathers (William A. Jurgens)\nConfessions (St. Augustine)\nCity of God (St. Augustine)\nOn the Literal Meaning of Genesis (St. Augustine)\nSumma Contra Gentiles (St. Thomas Aquinas)\nIn the Beginning (Joseph Ratzinger)\naddresses and statements on science and religion by Pope St. John Paul II\nCommunion and Stewardship: Human Persons Created in the Image of God (International Theological Commission)\nsections of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. \n\nLOCATION AND FORMAT \n\nThe seminar will take place at the University of Virginia. Admitted students will be required to arrange their own travel to and from the seminar.\nAdmitted students will be granted a stipend of $350 to offset travel costs in addition to having their lodging and meals covered for the duration of the seminar.\nParticipants will arrive on Sunday\, August 7 and depart on Saturday\, August 13. The seminar will take place from Monday to Friday\, with a lecture and discussion session each morning and afternoon.\nParticipants will be required read the assigned materials in preparation for the seminar.\nIn order to receive the $350 stipend\, students must participate fully in all seminar activities and complete a survey at the end of the seminar.\n\nAPPLICATION INFORMATION \n\nOpen to all undergraduate students\, including those who graduate in 2022 and recent graduates.\nApplicants must submit an online application\, including details on their course of study\, a statement of interest\, and a letter of recommendation.\nFor full consideration\, apply by April 15. After April 15\, applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis.\n15 applicants will be admitted to the seminar.\n\nThis seminar is made possible through the support of grant #62372 from the John Templeton Foundation\, “In Lumine: Promoting the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on Campuses Nationwide” \n\nFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS \nI am a college student graduating this academic year.
