The Emotional Brain:
From the Humanities to Neuroscience and Back Again
19-20 May 2011, Kraków
In the past, emotions and feelings belonged to the domain of the humanities. They were analyzed by philosophers and cherished by poets, while the sciences looked at them with suspicion or simply ignored them.
The 'affective revolution’ of the 1990s changed all this. Neuroscientists have showed us that emotions and feelings can be investigated with empirical methods. Moreover, they proved that the role of emotions is essential both for our perception of the world and for our social institutions. The challenge that we face today may be described as follows. Can both disciplines – the humanities and neuroscience – enrich and educate each other and close the gap between the Geisteswissenschaften and Naturwissenschaften. Or maybe it is neuroscience that will dominate the reflection over the human emotional life? Or possibly it will stay as it is: two separate disciplines, two separate methods, with no real point of contact?

Public Forum with Joshua Moritz on
Chosen from Among the Animals: The End of Human Uniqueness and the Election of the Image of God
April 14, 2011: 7pm,
Graduate Theological Union Library, Dinner Board Room, 2400 Ridge Road, Berkeley
(free and open to the public)
What does it mean for human beings to be created in the ‘image and likeness of God’? In both popular opinion and the minds of many scientists and academics, the idea of human uniqueness and human superiority has been linked to the Christian doctrine of the imago Dei. Among Christian philosophers and theologians the connection between the unique nature of humans and the divine likeness has similarly been assumed and even systematically argued for. Pursuing what is called the comparative approach to theological anthropology these philosophers and theologians have asked, in what ways is human nature different from the nature of animals and, therefore, like the nature of God? In contrast to these scholars, Moritz questions any concept of the image of God that equates the imago Dei with some characteristic or capacity which presumably makes humans unique—in a non-trivial way—from other animals. He concludes that the image of God is—exegetically and theologically—best understood in light of the Hebrew theological framework of historical election. Viewing the imago Dei as election incorporates the findings of contemporary biblical studies and takes seriously scientific understandings of both evolutionary continuity and the psychosomatic unity of the human person.

ADVANCE NOTICE – 2011 CONFERENCE
INSPIRATION IN SCIENCE AND RELIGION
25-27 SEPTEMBER 2011,
at CUMBERLAND LODGE, WINDSOR
Inspiration is twofold: on the one hand it is a sense of purpose which permeates everyday activities. On the other hand it refers to a moment of clarity, a moment in which some internal struggle becomes resolved or some inchoate idea becomes formed. But where does inspiration come from and what is its status in different areas of human endeavour?

Christians in Science Northern Conference 2011
All God’s Creatures
March 19th 2011
Edinburgh, UK
New discoveries are providing insights into what it means to be human in today’s world and in the context of the story of God’s creation. Alongside this we are also finding the boundaries of our particular uniqueness in this story challenged and perhaps adjusted in the light of our increasing understanding of the universe around us and through our own inventiveness. Our conference will examine many of these discoveries and explore their implications for both Christian theology and also for the Church and wider community. There will be opportunities for dialogue and discussion with the speakers throughout the day.

ON-LINE COURSE ON SCIENCE AND THEOLOGY
St John’s College, Durham
‘The new dialogue of science and theology in mission and ministry’ is a newly-created on-line course. It is a stand-alone module (though it can also be taken as one component of a full Masters Degree course at Durham University, UK). The module is led by Revd Dr David Wilkinson, Principal of St John’s College there.
The module takes seriously the way that the scientific world is raising both challenges and opportunities for faith and Christian ministry. It explores these questions in the light of the Biblical themes of creation and new creation. It also takes seriously how these questions work out in pop culture. Be prepared for Homer Simpson debating with Stephen Hawking, Star Wars and Isaac Newton, eschatology and The Matrix.
All work will be done on line. The module will allow each student to join a learning community through on-line resources, message boards, chat sessions with leading scientists, and a different way of reflecting on theology and ministry. It will run during the autumn of 2008, with 3 hours’ interaction each week.
Tuition fees are £666 (equivalent to about €830 at time of going to press). A bursary of £80 (about €100 at time of going to press) is available for those in Christian ministry.
