 Hesburgh Lecture - Science and Religion: the Compatibility  and Complementary Flourishing of Catholicism and the Natural Sciences

Friday, March 5, 7:30 p.m.
Kevin Kline Theatre at St. Louis Priory

We have just complete 150 years of Darwin. Angry disputes between anti-evolutionary creationists and neo-Darwinian atheists persist. Brad Gregory, Ph.D., Associate Professor of History and Fellow of the Nanovic Institute of European Studies joined the History Department in 1993 after seven years at Stanford. He has received teaching awards at Stanford and Notre Dame and his first book, Salvation at Stake: Christian Martyrdom in Early Modern Europe received six book prizes. A former junior fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows, he teaches courses in early modern Europe and well freshman seminar.
 
At the Notre Dame Club of St. Louis'  annual Hesburgh Lecture at the St. Louis Priory School, he will discuss how Catholicism avoids the pitfalls of both the creationists and atheists by exploring Catholic teaching about God and creation in relationship to the natural sciences' investigation of the natural world.
 
Please join us on Friday evening, March 5, 2010 at the Kevin Kline Theatre at the St. Louis Priory School at 7:30 PM to listen to Science and Religion: The Compatibility and Complementary Flourishing of Catholicism and the Natural Sciences and to learn, think and enjoy.
