PHL 3040 - Philosophy of Religion

Credits: 4

This course grapples with questions of ultimate religious import: Does God exist? Is there a life for us after we die? If God made the world, why is there so much evil in it? 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 present their own reasoned position. Area Requirement for Philosophy: Reality
Prerequisite(s): Any 1000 level course in Philosophy.
