Lecturer, Executive Director of ISCAST–Christians in Science, and Anglican minister, University of Melbourne Chris's background is in engineering, philosophy and theology and he has a doctorate in philosophical hermeneutics. He teaches in climate change, history of science, philosophy, critical thinking, and theology at the University of Divinity and the University of Melbourne. Chris is interested in the nature of science and the relationship between science and religion. His research focusses on scientific and theological ways of knowing and the ubiquity of HUFPAT: a hermeneutic, universal, fiduciary and provisional approach to truth. (Seeing you asked: the philosophical hermeneutics arising from Martin Heidegger and Hans-Georg Gadamer along with the philosophy of science of Michael Polanyi and defending a view of robust truth in the face of the onslaughts of Richard Rorty's "truth is what your peers will let you get away with saying." Roughly.) Chris is Executive Director of the Institute for the Study of Christianity in an Age of Science and Technology (ISCAST.org), which is dedicated to exploring the interface between science and Christianity. Its membership consists of scientists, theologians and professionals with standing in their own fields and a commitment to the Christian faith. Chris is an Anglican minister and lived with his family in Argentina for 13 years. Chris enjoys public speaking on matters of science and faith, worldviews, and theories of knowledge. Chris doesn't like bios written in the third person as if they weren't autobiographical.
