PHL 3040 - Philosophy of Religion

Credits: 4

Grappling with questions of ultimate religious import: Does God exist? Is there a life for us after we die? If God made the world, how come there is so much evil? Do you have to be religious to be moral (or vice versa)? Do faith and reason contradict each other? Do mystics have a special knowledge of these matters? Is there only one true religion? Students will write a term paper researching a major question and then present their own reasoned position. Area Requirement for Philosophy: Reality
Prerequisite(s): PHL 1000 or PHL 1100 or PHL 1200
