Faith, Science, and Nature

The Faith, Science, and Nature Conference will bring together outstanding scholars to discuss how to integrate the findings of contemporary science into a mature and theologically-informed faith — and to explore the limits of and boundaries between faith and science, especially in their grasp of the human person.

This event is free and open to the public. Attendees will be invited to a complimentary reception following the keynote address Friday evening. There will also be a complimentary continental breakfast and lunch on Saturday for all attendees.

Online registration is now closed. If you still wish to register, on-site registration begins at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, February 15, in the entrance of Mackay Campus Center at Princeton Theological Seminary. You may also register Saturday morning starting at 8:30 a.m. outside Stuart Hall Room 6.
