The scientific and the faith communities are often perceived as being at odds with one another, especially in these times.
On Thursday, 17 April 2025 at 1400 UTC, Prof. Elaine Howard Ecklund, Herbert S. Autrey Chair in Social Sciences and Director of Rice University’s Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance (USA), will explore why science and faith need each other, now more than ever. Based on 15 years of research, she questions the assumption that science and faith are at odds with one another. During this time, Ecklund has surveyed more than 40,000 individuals in scientific and faith communities and conducted in-person interviews with more than 1,200, resulting in the publication of Why Science and Faith Need Each Other: Eight Shared Values That Move Us Beyond Fear (Brazos Press, 2020).
In preparation for the webinar, take some time to read chapter 1 of her book.
