Science and Orthodoxy around the World – A Documentary Film

Pemptousia

Science & Orthodox Christianity

If we accept that God is faith and science is knowledge, is there a point where these two converge? Many have spoken of a dialogue between science and faith. What could Orthodox Christianity bring to this discussion? And most importantly, what would the basis of such a dialogue be? The documentary discusses issues about the relationship between science and religion from an Orthodox Christian perspective.

Filmed for Project “Science and Orthodoxy around the World”, of the Institute of Historical Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation (Athens, Greece), and funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation Inc., 2016-2019.
