Science meets theology in Canberra

21 MARCH 2006

The future of the universe from the perspective of science and the Christian theological tradition will be explored in a conference sponsored by Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Public and Contextual Theology Research Centre (PACT). From Resurrection to Return: Perspectives from Theology and Science on Christian Eschatology follows conferences on science and theology in Canberra in 2001 and in Adelaide in 2004. The conference will be held on Wednesday 29 March and Thursday 30 March in St Mark’s National Theological Centre and the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture, Barton, ACT. Among the keynote speakers are renowned theologian and New Testament scholar, Rt. Reverend Tom Wright, Bishop of Durham; Reverend Professor Robert J. Russell, founder and director of the Centre for Theology and the Natural Sciences, Berkeley, California; and Reverend Professor Ted Peters, Professor of Theology, Pacific Lutheran Seminary and co-editor of Theology and Science. “The conference is an exciting opportunity for scholars from various disciplines to share insights on an important theme and strengthen our links nationally and internationally in the science and religion dialogue,” said PACT Director, Professor James Haire.
