What Can Astronomy Say about Christ | Deborah Haarsma

Lecture Title - Christ and the Cosmos The psalmist wrote “The heavens declare the glory of God.” The field of modern astronomy is revealing amazing wonders in the heavens, from baby stars to distant galaxies to the Big Bang. These discoveries, when seen through the eyes of biblical faith, give exciting insights into our theological understanding of Christ the Creator, including his glory, the goodness of creation, creation from nothing, and even the redemptive love of Christ. Deborah B. Haarsma (PhD Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is the President of BioLogos. She is co-author of Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design (Faith Alive, 2011), and co-editor of Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church (Center for Excellence in Preaching, 2012). The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
