Course Description
Science and religion—two crucial forces that helped shape Western civilization and continue to interact in our daily lives. What is the nature of their relationship? When do they conflict? And how do they influence each other in their pursuits of knowledge and truth? Science and Religion, taught by award-winning Professor Lawrence M. Principe, answers these and other pointed questions about the historical sweep and epic interaction between faith and science. These lectures reveal a surprisingly cooperative dynamic in which theologians and natural scientists share methods, ideas, and aspirations. With its clear, historical perspective, this course will help you participate more effectively in a dialogue that is as immediate and thought-provoking today as it was hundreds of years ago.

I found the course very interesting and valuable. The lectures were clear and well presented.Learning about the psychological tl and sociological aspects of religion, I feel, helps us to understand our fellow man -- and ourselves. However, I loved the final lecture about the "Why?"
I struggled a bit to absorb everything in the time frame we had.
