Aims
ESSSAT is a scholarly organization, based in Europe, which aims to promote the study of relationships between the natural sciences and theological views. ESSSAT has members from almost every European country as well as members from other continents. They have different confessional backgrounds, and may include believers as well as non-believers and atheists. As scientists, theologians, philosophers and historians they work on a better understanding of the interactions between two of the most powerful human pursuits, namely religion and science.
ESSSAT’s aims are:
- to advance the open and critical communication between theology and science;
- to share their knowledge for the mutual benefit of each;
- to work on the solution of interdisciplinary problems.
