'Science for Seminaries' Highlights Importance of Integrating Faith and Science
It's a common misconception that Christianity and science are somehow opposed, two competing entities for the hearts and minds of our society. The reality is that robust, faithful Christian scholarship not only can coexist with scientific inquiry, but it can thrive with it—and needs to in order to speak to the pressing personal and cultural questions of our day. As a case in point, Portland, Oregon's Multnomah Seminary has received a significant grant to integrate scientific coursework into the studies of seminarians.
