Location: Hostetter Chapel Sanctuary, Messiah College, Grantham, PA.  Directions and a campus map are here http://www.messiah.edu/visitors/direction.html

Lectures sponsored by The Central Pennsylvania Forum for Religion and Science

Featured speaker: Dr. Robert J. Russell, Ian G. Barbour Professor of Theology and Science in Residence at the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, and Founder and Director of the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences

These lectures explore a variety of topics on the frontiers of the creative mutual interaction between Christian theology and the natural sciences, from a theology of creation as it interacts with both scientific cosmology and evolutionary biology to a theology of the new creation based on the bodily resurrection of Jesus and the challenge to it raised by scientific cosmology. Three lectures, with questions from the audience:

10:00 am.  Cosmology, philosophy and theology: A complex interaction.

1:00 pm.  Theistic evolution and the challenge of natural evil.

3:00 pm.  Resurrection, eschatology and cosmology: guidelines for their creative mutual interaction.

Cost: Free for students & employees of Messiah College and members of the Forum, but tickets are required.  All others pay $25 before November 1 or $35 at the door.  Tickets go on sale in early September; contact the ticket office at 717-691-6036.
