SCIENCE AND THE CHRISTIAN MAN

on BBC Home Service Basic

View in Radio Times

A series of six talks by Canon Charles Raven
1-' Science and Religious Experience '
In this talk Canon Raven accepts the general conclusions of evolution and asks the question, how far can we say that we are made in the image of God? If we are descended from sub-human ancestors where is the break and what is the novelty that separates man from monkey? Canon Raven finds the peculiar human quality in man's self-awareness, his consciousness of the world as a distinct and myterious universe. This experience is the basic stuff of religion. Canon Raven shows how this sense of awe develops and he examines the nature of religious experience as we know it.
