In this section we explore the dynamic relationship between Scripture, science and our faith as we consider the planet and its purpose.

Revd Dr Gareth Leyshon and Michael Pfundner help us to explore some big questions: why is there something rather than nothing? How did the universe come about? What is truth and how do we find it in Scripture and daily life? What does it mean to be human, and why do we need to be baptised? How can the Eucharist be both bread and Jesus’ flesh? Where does modern science fit in?

Professor Stephen Gomez focuses on sense and perception – exploring hearing, sight, touch, taste, and smell. By blending physiological science with Christian biblical and spiritual reflection, he helps us to understand how our senses work on both physical and spiritual levels.

While some regard science and faith as mutually exclusive, here we explore how Scripture can help us to understand their relationship more clearly.
