Between them is a rectangular symbol. Above them and to the left of the black ibex are horses, the most numerous of all the animals depicted in Lascaux.

The animals, like these from Natal Drakensberg above, play an important role in the beliefs of San Bushmen.

The segment pictured above is part of a grand composition. Courtesy of Serge deSazo/Rapho	J. Wentzel van Huyssteen is the James I. McCord Professor of Theology and Science at Princeton Theological Seminary. His area of special interest is religious and scientific epistemology. Earlier in May, he delivered the Gifford Lectures at the University of Edinburgh on the dialogue between theology and paleoanthropology. He explored questions of human uniqueness by focusing on the meaning of cave paintings as the oldest surviving expressions of human symbolic activity. Originally from South Africa, Dr. van Huyssteen received his baccalaureate degree cum laude from the University of Stellenbosch, where he also took a B.A. Honors degree with distinction, a bachelor of theology degree, and an M.A. in philosophy. He earned a doctorate in theology from the Free University of Amsterdam in 1970 and was ordained a minister in the Dutch Reformed Church the next year. After further study at Ludwig-Maximillians-Universität in Munich, he lectured on philosophy and theology at the Huguenot College in Wellington, South Africa, and served for a year as the minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in Noorder-Paarl, South Africa. He was named professor and chair of religious studies at South Africa’s University of Port Elizabeth in 1972, a post he held until coming to Princeton Theological Seminary as the first occupant of the McCord chair. Dr. van Huyssteen has lectured at academic institutions throughout Europe, as well as in South Africa, Canada, and the United States. The recipient of the Andrew Murray Prize for Theological Literature, an American Academy of Religion Senior Research Award, a Bill Venter Award for Academic Excellence, and a Citizen of the Year Award from Port Elizabeth City Council, he also won a John Templeton Foundation award for the published version of his inaugural lecture at Princeton Theological Seminary and two Templeton Foundation Science and Religion Course Program grants. He has been a member for the past twelve years of the steering committee of the Theology and Science Section of the American Academy of Religion, served at the invitation of the Dutch Royal Academy for Arts and Sciences as chair of an international committee assessing theological research in The Netherlands, and is a member of the board of advisors of the Templeton Foundation. In addition to serving on the editorial boards of the American Journal of Theology and Philosophy, the Nederduits Gereformeerde Teologiese Tydskrif, and the Journal of Theology and Science, Dr. van Huyssteen is a member of the editorial board of the Templeton Foundation Press. He served as the editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia for Science and Religion, which was published last year by Macmillan, and is co-editor (with Roger Trigg) of the Ashgate Science and Religion Series. The author of some fifty articles published in academic journals, he is the editor (with Niels Henrik Gregersen) of Rethinking Theology and Science (1998) and the author of eight other books, including Essays in Postfoundational Theology (1997) and, most recently, The Shaping of Rationality: Towards Interdisciplinarity in Theology and Science, which was published by Wm. B. Eerdmans in 1999.
