PHIL 228 - Philosophy of Religion

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: One 100-level, three-credit course in philosophy or CRIT 111
This course critically examines the nature and justification of religious claims, including discussion of: What are the grounds for belief or disbelief in God’s existence? Is religious discourse meaningful? Do faith and reason conflict? Is belief in immortality intelligible and/or defensible? Is religious knowledge possible? Are revelation and religious experience reliable sources of truth? Is it rational to believe in miracles? Is atheism a religion? Offered alternate years. (Formerly PHIL 328) (CHUM; CWRT)
