Check it Out: Kennedy on Science and the Church

Please check out this link to Point Loma’s Professor Rick Kennedy’s (Former CFH President) latest work.  It’s of particular interest to folks interested in science, Darwinism, and how that intersects with faith.  The historian/philosopher’s take is engaging if also re-orienting.  

As historians, this is an important read.  It shows that not only do we not have to check our faith at the door of secular universities, but also that it is a worthwhile (perhaps even necessary) conversation.

AHA Recap

Happy new year, everyone!

It was good to see some of you at the AHA. And welcome to those of you who are new to the blog!

CFH hosted a great panel with members discussing their medieval history books. I’m an Americanist, but try to always attend a panel outside my area (so as not to get too stuck in my own box). I found it very fascinating.

That evening, Point Loma Nazarene University (where CFH president Rick Kennedy professes), hosted a lovely reception for CFHers. The history building overlooks the ocean and we were there in time for the sunset.

Make plans to join us in Boston in 2011!

We’ve got more exciting things coming on the blog this semester, stay tuned!
