Workshop: FAITH AND SCIENTIFIC STUDIES (4+2 units) |
||
|
Michael Hasel |
Adventist young people studying at public universities face great challenges in their faith through Philosophy, Culture and the leading opinion of the scientific world view. Can a Christian work scientifically without losing his faith? How can I face unbelievers who don't share my world view? How can I live up to God's commission on a secular university campus - without losing my scientific authenticity? Is it possible to be scientifically successful while staying a convicted Christian (Adventist)? Dr. Michael Hasel, an international archaeologist and author of many scientific publications, shares his own (faith-) experience in the academic world. Michael G. Hasel is the Director of the Institute of Archaeology and Professor for Near Eastern Studies and Anthropology at the Southern Adventist University. He received an M.A. in Near Eastern Studies and Anthropology from the University of Arizona and graduated 1996 as the youngest doctor in this area of studies with a PHD. In 1995-96 he was the Samuel H. Kress Fellow at the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem. In 2005 he served as a Senior Fulbright Scholar at the Cyprus-American Archaeological Research Institute (CAARI) in Nicosia, Cyprus funded by the U.S. Department of State. |
