Science for Seminaries Final Report

November 30, 2016

In this final report for the Science for Seminaries project, we summarize the activities and findings from Phase I of the Science for Seminaries project, in which several theological training institutions introduced scientific content in practical ways into their core educational programs. As AAAS DoSER’s work consistently
demonstrates, both scientists and religious communities are enthusiastic about dialogue, and meaningful interactions remain critical to dismantling false perceptions and reframing the national discourse toward a greater public appreciation of science. For the scientific community, Science for Seminaries has represented a rich opportunity to advance science by fostering key partnerships and building an infrastructure that has the potential to make long-lasting societal impacts.

In furtherance of the AAAS mission of advancing science in service to society, AAAS|DoSER’s role in the Science for Seminaries project is to support efforts to integrate science into seminary education. AAAS|DoSER does not advise on or endorse the theological content of the participating seminaries.
