Is Faith dying out? Professor McGrath examines the pervasive narrative that the increasing secularisation of the modern world meaning the end of Faith: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/professors-and-speakers/professor-alister-mcgrath Some would argue that the modern world is becoming increasingly secular and that this means that faith is declining. Professor Alister McGrath examines this idea and finds it less than convincing. Alister McGrath is the Gresham Professor of Divinity, the Andreos Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at the University of Oxford, and one of the world's most respected theologians. http://www.gresham.ac.uk/professors-and-speakers/professor-alister-mcgrath Professor McGrath's inaugural series of six lectures discusses the "interweaving of narratives" between science and faith and how this can enrich our vision of reality. The lectures will engage topics that are of wide cultural interest at the interface of religion and science, with both a strong theological focus on the one hand, and a deep commitment to engaging issues of current debate and discussion on the other. The Series will be called 'Science, Faith, and God: The Big Questions': http://www.gresham.ac.uk/science-faith-and-god-the-big-questions Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website.
