I'm just starting a tenure track position in chemistry at the
University of Illinois at Springfield. Besides teaching chemistry, I
have the opportunity to develop courses with a broader appeal,
specifically in liberal arts or public affairs. I've indicated to my
department that I'd like to do a course in science and religion and
they seem open to it. I have until the end of the month to submit a
formal course proposal for review by the curriculum committee.
My questions for you are:
1) What texts have you found useful in this area that are not
specifically Christian? 2) What are some public institutions that
offer such a course? And if you've taught such a course and are
willing to share your syllabus, I'd appreciate it.
The book by Lindberg and Numbers, God & Nature is very useful,
and is not written by people who faculty could object to.
ASA has a Commision on History of Science. Edward Davis,
("Ted") is the Chair. He's an excellent source. Check out his
website at Messiah College.
Another very capable historian of science is Arie Leegwater at
Calvin College.
