- PhD Defence Charles Christian: Mere Materiality?“Did you know that all scientific knowledge we have today is already foretold in the Bible?” If you have heard this claim, know that this is not a uniquely Christian claim. Since the time humanity tasted the fruit of modern science, almost all religions have advanced similar arguments. This is nowhere more evident than in India, a land bustling with diverse religions. On 24 November, Charles Christian will defend his dissertation on the issues that arise from the 'piggybacking' of religion on the back of science and the space it creates for a dialogue on God’s relationship with nature, entitled Mere Materiality? Towards an Indian Christian Theology of Nature.

This idea, central to Barth’s work, now forms the focus of the 41st International Barth Conference: “Theologische Existenz Heute” – Today.
