About the BioLogos Forum
Favorites
The BioLogos Forum is designed to foster a serious and comprehensive discussion of Christian faith and the sciences. We believe that charitable engagement of different perspectives within the Church helps sharpen our thinking and deepen our commitment to the truth that is hidden in Christ. So while many of the articles and videos under the distinctive Forum banner come from BioLogos staff and Senior Fellows, we feature a range of voices, including those that disagree with us and with each other. Unless otherwise noted, views expressed are those of the authors, not necessarily of The BioLogos Foundation. You can read more about what we believe here, and join the conversation in the comments section at the end of each post.
Ephesians 4:7-16: Moving the Science/Faith Discussion Forward
In this series, Dr. Ross Hastings discusses “front edge” issues at the intersection of Christianity and science. He begins with a study on Ephesians 4:7-16, which calls Christ’s body to unity in the midst of diversity. This is a unity, he explains, that will mature as truth is spoken in love by individuals who respect other’s strengths and gifts. From this posture, he addresses nine areas that are necessary if the conversation of science and faith is to progress in a productive and Christian manner.

Ephesians 4:7-16: Moving the Science/Faith Discussion Forward, Part 3
I think many Evangelicals are under the false impression that until the advent of modern geology in the nineteenth century there was only one interpretation of Genesis 1.
Ephesians 4:7-16: Moving the Science/Faith Discussion Forward, Part 4
Augustine, who articulated the doctrine of original sin most clearly, did not envision original sin as causing structural changes in the universe, and he suggests that the bodies of Adam and Eve were created mortal before the Fall.
