Spirituality and mental health

In this talk Rev Prof John Swinton explores the interface between spirituality and science, particularly in relation to the science of mental health.

Ruth Valerio: Why Climate Change Matters

Climate change is a global problem, but one which affects us unequally. For example, those who live in the industrialised global north have contributed disproportionately to the problem, whereas the residents of the global south are far more likely to suffer the harmful consequences of climate change. Therefore, for Christians, concerned with issues of inequality and social justice, climate change has to be high on our agenda.

In this talk Dr Ruth Valerio takes the fact of climate change as a given. The scientific evidence for rising global temperatures as a result of human activities is now overwhelming. She shows that with this now near-universal acceptance of the facts how the language of climate change has shifted from global warming to climate change and more recently embraces the term ‘climate emergency’.

Can Science Explain Everything?

Prof John Lennox: Can Science Explain Everything?

There is a widely held view that science can explain everything, that science holds all the answers and there is no place for faith in God. This is the materialist world-view – that all that there is is matter and all that matters is matter. The materialist worldview is gently but powerfully challenged in this study by John Lennox. In this study we gain a ‘big-picture’ overview of the relationship between science and the Christian faith.

Professor John Lennox is a retired Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford and a well-known apologist for the Christian faith.
