While modern empirical science arose within the bosom of the Christian faith,
the relationship between Christianity and science has been marked by as much
conflict as concord. At times, what is proposed as serious science seems to
be flatly inconsistent with the Christian faith. This lecture looks into this
type of conflict and Dr. Plantinga argues that typically these conflicts ought
not to occasion fear and trepidation on the part of Christians. Dr. Plantinga
is a founding member of the Society of Christian Philosophers. He taught philosophy
at Calvin College for 19 years. In 1982, he was appointed to the John O'Brien
Professor of Philosophy and Director for Philosophy of Religion at the University
of Notre Dame.
