DESCRIPTION:On Thursday 9th November Prof. David Fergusson wil
 l be speaking at The Faraday Institute for Science
  and Religion Public Lecture entitled: ‘The Persis
 tence of Faith: Scientific and Theological Perspec
 tives’.\n\n*Abstract*\n\nAlmost all the leading Ch
 ristian theologians have regarded religion as a na
 tural phenomenon evident in every society. Though 
 their assessments of the value of a _sensus divini
 tatis_ vary\, this assumption about the rootedness
  of religion in our human condition is pervasive. 
 As a ‘natural’ phenomenon\, religion is thus avail
 able for description and explanation by both the n
 atural and social sciences. In this lecture\, I co
 nsider a possible tension between accounts that af
 firm religion as integral to our constitution and 
 those that suggest it will disappear or be diminis
 hed under the conditions of modernity. In favourin
 g theories that suggest a refraction rather than a
  disappearance of religion\, I return to an evalua
 tion of earlier theological accounts of this human
  phenomenon.   \n\nThe lecture will be held at the
  Queen’s Building Lecture Hall\, Emmanuel College\
 , Cambridge followed by a short drinks reception. 
 All attendees are kindly requested to be seated by
  5:45pm.\n\nThis event is in partnership with Chri
 stians in Science.\n\nhttps://faraday.institute/pu
