Alister McGrath is the Gresham Professor of Divinity, the Andreos Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at the University of Oxford, and one of the world's most respected theologians introduces his first lecture of his 17-18 series 'Are Science & Faith at War?' Science and religious faith are two of the most important elements of western culture. Yet the authority of both is under threat in our pragmatic culture, which emphasises relevance over truth. So what is their relationship? Are they permanently locked in warfare? Or are there ways of encouraging a positive and enriching dialogue? Drawing on the latest scholarship in the field, Professor McGrath moves us on from many of the outdated stereotypes to open up some new possibilities. 1pm, 3rd October 2017, Museum of London All our lectures are free and, and mostly unticketed on a 'first come first served basis'.
