The European Society for the Study of Science and Theology (ESSSAT) Announces Winners of the 2024 ESSSAT Prizes
ESSSAT is delighted to announce the winners of the 2024 ESSSAT Prizes, recognizing outstanding contributions to the dialogue between science and theology.
Research Prize Winner
The ESSSAT Research Prize 2024 has been awarded to Tobias Tanton for his groundbreaking book, Corporeal Theology, published by Oxford University Press in 2023. Tanton's work explores the intricate relationship between the human body and theological concepts, offering a fresh perspective on corporeality in theological discourse.
Student Research Prize Winner
The ESSSAT Student Research Prize 2024 has been awarded to Emil Lusser for his insightful short essay titled "Autistic Traits in Theology? Reflections on a Theology of Neurodiversity." Lusser's essay delves into the intersection of theology and neurodiversity, providing a thought-provoking examination of how autistic traits can inform and enrich theological understanding. His work highlights the importance of inclusivity and diversity in theological scholarship.
Both winners will be honored at the upcoming European Conference on Science and Theology in Split (Croatia), where they will present their work to an audience of scholars, theologians, and scientists. The conference provides a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue and fosters collaboration between diverse fields of study.
ESSSAT congratulates Tobias Tanton and Emil Lusser on their remarkable achievements and contributions to the field. Their work exemplifies the society's commitment to exploring the dynamic relationship between science and theology.
