This concluding lecture considers a leading theme of Christian theology – that we have some innate tendency to believe in God (e.g., Pascal, George Herbert, and C. S. Lewis). The lecture then considers the evidence from recent “evolutionary cognitive science of religion” that religion is natural. The lecture assesses these findings, and considers their implications for debates about the future of religion in western culture.

This is a free public lecture by Alister McGrath, Gresham Professor of Divinity.

There is no need to book in advance for this lecture. It runs on a first come first served basis.
