Sometimes these sources were in agreement on key issues; sometimes they contradicted each other. For this essay, consider how medieval scholars approached and reconciled inconsistencies or contradictions between the diverse sources in their intellectual heritage. You are encouraged to select one specific area of conflict between a secular Greek text (e.g. Aristotle’s <em>Physics</em>) and religious Judeo-Christian texts (e.g. <em>The Bible</em>), and explore the substance, context, and implications of this conflict. What does this conflict suggest about the relation between science and religion during the medieval period?</font></p> http://www2.evergreen.edu/christianroots/week-3-paper-topic-group-b#comment Mon, 24 Sep 2007 23:43:53 -0700 francisk 27 at http://www2.evergreen.edu/christianroots http://www2.evergreen.edu/christianroots/secure-readings Follow this link to access secure readings for this program: <a href="https://evergreen.ares.atlas-sys.com/ares/">https://evergreen.ares.atlas-sys.com/ares/</a> http://www2.evergreen.edu/christianroots/secure-readings#comment Mon, 27 Aug 2007 14:50:31 -0700 bowcuttf 14 at http://www2.evergreen.edu/christianroots
