Welcome to the website for the Zygon Center for
Religion and Science. The Zygon Center is located at the Lutheran School
of Theology at Chicago (LSTC). It is dedicated to relating religious traditions
and the best scientific knowledge in order to gain insight into the origins,
nature, and destiny of humans and their environment. The purpose of the
Center is to bring together scientists, theologians, and other scholars
to discuss and carry out research on basic questions and issues of human
concern.
The Zygon Center sponsors three academic courses
(offered through LSTC) each year: the Epic of Creation, the Future of
Creation, and the Advanced Seminar in Religion and Science. ZCRS also
sponsors conferences, symposia, and workshops throughout the year. An
ongoing project is the HIV/AIDS Workshop for Medical and Religious Professionals.
Information about these events and courses can be found on the website.
We hope you find this site informative
and helpful. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions
or comments concerning the Center.
