About philosophy of religion

Consider the connections between rationality and faith, understand the nature of religious language and religious experience, and learn to pose a range of other questions in philosophical theology. Philosophy of religion is a broad area of study that encompasses religious thinking, practice and other phenomena. Topics include conceptions of divinity and the God-world relationship – either from within a religious tradition or from beyond one – rational arguments concerning God’s existence and nature, and issues such as the problem of evil and ideas concerning life after death.
