The Weight

"Faith, Science, & Suffering" with Philip Clayton


Listen Later

Show Notes:

Can science and faith exist together? If God created the world and then created people in God’s own image, why do we experience suffering? How do we reconcile the hard facts of science with the miraculous story of God’s own faithfulness and actions in the world? These are difficult but not impossible topics to explore, and today’s guest offers us a way into those hard conversations.


Dr. Philip Clayton is Professor Emeritus at Claremont School of Theology, as well as the former Ingraham Chair, where he directed the PhD program in comparative theologies and philosophies. He earned a joint PhD from Yale in the philosophy of science and the philosophy of religion. He is the author of more than two dozen books, including The Problem of God in Modern Thought and Religion and Science: The Basics.
