NEW ADULT EDUCATION SERIES:
“PROFESSORS TALK ABOUT RELIGION”
People sometimes assume that it is only scholars in the field of religious studies who—in their role as scholars—deal with religious experience, belief, and/or practice. This, however, is not the case. Scholars in a number of different academic disciplines—including the arts, the humanities, the social and behavioral sciences, and, in a somewhat different way, the natural sciences and perhaps even mathematics—encounter and must somehow deal with religion as a significant aspect of human experience and activity.
On February 3rd, the Sunday morning adult class will begin a new series entitled “PROFESSORS TALK ABOUT Religion.” The series will feature scholars from local colleges and universities, each representing a different academic discipline. These disciplines may include philosophy, literature, history, sociology, political science, economics, psychology, biology, geology, chemistry, and/or physics. Topics for the individual sessions will be “A Philosophy Professor Talks about Religion,” “A Physics Professor Talks about Religion,” etc., etc. The speakers will discuss how they—as scholars—deal with various aspects of religion and/or how perspectives from their own particular academic disciplines might shed light on the nature of religion and its role in human life. If they wish, they may also talk about how, if at all, their scholarship affects their own religious orientation or lack thereof. Following each presentation, there will be ample time for questions and discussion.
The series will allow members of the class to compare and contrast a variety of scholarly perspectives on religion. In addition, it is intended to stimulate and provide resources for those who wish to enrich and articulate their own understanding of the nature of religion and its role in human life, both personal and social.
Speakers:
Lawrence D. Kimmel (February 10th)
Alida C. Metcalf (February 17th)
David O. Ribble (February 24th)
Paula T. Hertel (March 2nd)
Clyde Hudgins (March 9)
Rudolph M. Gaedke (March 16th)
