The International Society for Science & Religion is holding an essay contest for students and young academics (without tenure) in honor of Sir John Polkinghorne’s 80th birthday.
The essays (which can be no more than 10,000 words) should explore a topic related to one of the major themes of Polkinghorne’s work on the relationship between science and theology—like chaos theory, natural theology, or epistemology—and highlight what makes Polkinghorne’s work unique or relevant.
Essays will be judged by experts in science and religion, and the first-place winner will earn 10,000 pounds and the chance to present the essay at the God and Physics conference in July.
The submission deadline is March 31.
