God and Cosmos

In this course students will explore scientific facts and theories about the cosmos, while thinking about their implications for theology.

When did it all begin? How vast is it? Why is it expanding? Will it ever end? What is our place in it? These big questions about the nature of the cosmos have been around as far as the history of human beings goes, and both science and religion have been proposing cosmological theories about them. In this course, taught by Kevin Jung at Wake Forest School of Divinity, students will explore scientific facts and theories about the cosmos, while thinking about their implications for theology.
