Collaborative Inquiries in Christian Theological Anthropology - June 19, 20, 22, 23, 2023
This project is guided by the conviction that contemporary theologians have much to gain from rigorous engagement with recent developments in the life and social sciences. Thanks to significant contributions from the John Templeton Foundation, the Villanova University, the University of Notre Dame, and a dozen other colleges and universities, a vibrant community of 20 fellows and mentors who will work collaboratively over a three-year period, has been assembled. The primary goals for this research community are twofold: first, to generate innovative research that will have a long-term effect upon various fields within theology; second, to promote sustained engagement between theology and the contemporary sciences that is, ultimately, mutually beneficial. The Summer Workshop 2023 will include manuscript critiques, social activities, and planning for future collaborations.
