Our New Series Exploring Science-Engaged Theology and Coronavirus
ECLAS has launched a new seven-part blog series on theological and scientific narrative approaches to coronavirus, titled ‘Making Sense of Coronavirus with Reason and Faith’.
The series is rooted in ECLAS’ original research into religious narratives.
Running from July to August, team members will explore themes of justice and equality, the environment, following the science, and mortality, all through the lens of the coronavirus pandemic.
