Fellows do not grade papers, but through written comments on the drafts and direct interaction in conferences, help students during the revision process. Undergraduate day students who have achieved at least sophomore standing in the Fall ‘97 semester, in the School of Arts and Sciences, School of Business Administration and Nursing Departments.

A Neuropsychological Analysis of Religion: Discovering Why God Won't Go Away Andrew B. Newberg, M.D.
Abstract By the end of the eighteenth century, the intellectual elite generally believed that religion would soon vanish because of the advent of the scientific method and the application of “higher criticism” to religious texts. However, two hundred years later, religions have not gone away, and in many instances, appear to be gaining in strength. Andrew Newberg will consider the neuropsychological basis of religious and mystical experiences and offer a proposal as to the foundations of religion. According to Newberg, religion appears to serve two major functions — it is a system of self-maintenance and a system of self-transcendence. Since both of these functions bear directly on human survival and adaptability, the neuropsychological mechanisms that underlie religious experience appear to have become thoroughly ingrained in human development. Newberg will review these two functions of religion from a neuropsychological perspective to provide a base for understanding religion and why human beings continue to experience God. Finally, Newberg will consider the conclusions that a neuropsychological analysis of religious experience lead to regarding reality and epistemology.
Andrew B. Newberg is a Fellow of the Division of Nuclear Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania His research has focused on neurophysiology and human ritual, religion, and neuroimaging techniques to study the effects of meditation on the central nervous system. He is the Associate Director of Neurobiological Studies for the Conference on Scientific Progress in Spiritual Research and the Director and Co-Founder of the Institute for the Scientific Study of Meditation. He has published widely in journals such as American Psychologist, Zygon, Anthropology of Consciousness, and Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine. He received his M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1993.
Neuroscience and the Bible: Whatever Happened to the Soul? Nancey Murphy, Ph.D., Th.D.
Abstract Nancey Murphy will consider two perspectives of human nature: the dualist and physicalist. Through the centuries, many religious thinkers and believers have held some form of body-soul dualism. Yet current advances in the neurosciences are making the concept of an independent mind or soul less and less credible. Although it may appear that science and religion are heading for conflict, Murphy argues that a non-dualist account of humans is entirely compatible with Jewish and Christian biblical traditions, so long as reductionistic accounts of human life (including morality and religious experience) are avoided.
Nancey Murphy is Associate Professor of Christian Philosophy at Fuller Theological Seminary. She holds a Th.D. in Theology from Graduate Theological Union and a Ph.D. in Philosophy (The Philosophy of Science) from the University of California Berkeley. Her recent books include Virtues and Practices in The Christian Tradition Christian Ethics After MacIntyre (with B. Kallenberg and M. Nation, 1997), Reconciling Theology and Science: Radical Reformation Perspective (1997), Anglo American Postmodernity: Philosophical Perspectives on Science Religion, and Ethics (1997), and On the Moral Nature of the Universe: Theology, Cosmology, and Ethics (1996) She has been a member of the Editorial Advisory Board for Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science since 1988. She is a three-time National Science Foundation Fellow.
Presentations will be followed by a question and answer period and light refreshments. From the desk of Nahariyah Mosenkis Jewish Chaplain, La Salle University Campus Ministry Phone: 215-844-3521—home, 951-1048—on campus
