May 26–30 • 1:30–4:30 pm1–2 Credits (1 Audit) • INDS/THEO 548

How should we understand the relationship between theology and science? How should this understanding shape our daily lives and decisions? Gain fresh insights as we consider some key theological and ethical issues in the biological sciences. Together, we’ll explore questions around creation and evolution; the role of genetics in human behaviour; the relationship between brain, mind, and free will; and distinctions between healing and enhancement.

C. S. Lewis and Unfulfilled Longing: An Exploration through Music

Abstract  

C. S. Lewis famously spoke of fleeting experiences of joy he had early in life, a longing for something this world cannot satisfy. Dr. Begbie will creatively explore this through music, comparing this pre-Christian unfulfilled desire with Christian hope.
