CTNS is an international non-profit organization dedicated to research, teaching and public service. The central scientific focus of CTNS is on developments in physics, cosmology, evolutionary biology, and genetics, with additional topics in the neurosciences, the environmental sciences, and mathematics. With regard to the theological task, CTNS engages in both Christian and multi-religious reflection. The Christian theological agenda focuses on the various doctrinal loci of systematic theology. The multi-religious agenda attends primarily to theological issues arising from the engagement between the sciences and religious traditions such as Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and indigenous spiritualities.

Science, Medicine and Religion - History of Science/History of Medicine 331 This course explores the complex and often perplexing historical issues raised by three overlapping arenas of human expression: science, medicine, and religion. We begin with asking some broad questions about the place of scientific and medical inquiry within a variety of religious contexts, including ancient Greece, the Islamic world, and Christianity in western Europe. We then focus on debates specific to particular domains of scientific and medical inquiry, ranging from the medicalization of monstrous births and the religious implications of Copernicanism to natural theology, evolutionary theory, and the efficacy of intercessory prayer.
