Newman Chair Presentation on Evolution and the Soul with Professor Chris Baglow

Faith and science are often perceived as opposed to each other, but such an account misunderstands both the nature of theology and the scope of science. Chris Baglow, Professor of the Practice of theology and director of the Science and Religion Initiative at the University of Notre Dame, has spent over 18 years studying and articulating the relation between them.
Professor Baglow has received three grants from the Templeton Foundation to develop curriculum for high school students that integrates faith and science, has given countless presentations, and is the author of two books on the subject, Faith, Science and Reason: Theology on the Cutting Edge (2nd edition, Midwest Theological Forum, 2019) and Creation: A Catholic’s Guide to God and the Universe (Ave Maria Press, 2021).
Today Professor Baglow will be lecturing on the relationship between Catholic theology of the creation of the soul (and humanity as a whole) and scientific findings about the origins of humanity.
Join us in the Lecture Hall of Carr-Gottstein at Alaska Pacific University for a presentation on this ever-relevant issue. This event is free and open to the public.
