Join us for a public lecture at the intersection of theology and evolutionary biology by Philip Rolnick, Professor of Theology at the University of St. Thomas. His talk will explore the challenges of suffering, pain, and death within the Christian conversation about creation. Dr. David Bentley Hart will offer a response.
His latest book, Origins: God, Evolution, and the Question of the Cosmos (Baylor University Press, 2015), has been nominated for three national awards. This book takes challenges of contemporary science, including evolutionary theory, and turns them to advantages for a robust faith. His talk at Notre Dame will show how, in an evolutionary creation, the problem of evil can be turned to theological advantage.
Free and open to the public.
Sponsored by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation. Organized by Neil Arner, Assistant Professor of Theology, with support from the Center for Theology, Science and Human Flourishing.
