In 2018, Science-Engaged Theology (SET) emerged as a new model for doing work at the intersection of theology and the sciences. In this course, we will examine earlier models of interdisciplinary engagement that SET critiques and seeks to revise, the conditions under which SET arose, and the reception of SET since 2018. In addition to developing an understanding of the significance of SET as a new mindset for theologians, the course will also discuss recent examples of science-engaged theology, focusing in particular on theologies of gender, sin, and aesthetics that are in conversation with the sciences.
