Graduate School Certificate in Theology and Science

In every area from physics to medical science, each year brings new discoveries that can inspire wonder, stretch our faith, and inform our ministry. The Certificate in Theology and Science assumes interest, rather than prior knowledge or ability, in fields of science and theology. It offers students the opportunity to (1) understand better the different ways that scientists and theologians form questions, gather evidence and find answers; (2) explore places of potential conflict or collaboration between science and theology; and (3) learn practical scientific knowledge that can be valuable for one’s vocation.

Students can choose to focus their work on specific areas, such as the intertwined history of science and faith; the theory and practice of creation care; neuroscience for ministry; evolution and biblical interpretation; human relationship with animals and machines; technology and Christian ethics; and many others.
