Description
Section information text: A philosophical inquiry into the questions that lie at the center of religion: does God exist? Is there a soul, and is it immortal? Are miracles possible? What is the relationship between faith and reason? Is the reality of evil compatible with the existence of a good God? This class is not a typical "religion" class. We together will delve into the many questions that come to mind when we think of why we do what we do in the name of "god/God" and the driving force behind the notion of faith.
