Dr Nicola Hoggard-Creegan, New Zealand Christians in Science (NZCIS) director, will teach a Theology and Science online course at  University of Otago.

Explore the historical and contemporary relationship between Christian theology and science, focusing on key interactions, historical landmarks, and current issues in biology, physics, ecology, bioethics, and AI.
