RELI 122: Introduction to Philosophical Approaches to Religion

This course is an introduction to philosophical inquiries regarding religion. We will address theological questions such as: Does God exist? What is the nature of the divine? Is there life after death? Addressing these questions from a philosophical standpoint requires relying on human insights rather than the use of sacred texts. We will read authors from many faith traditions, and, in so doing, we will encounter vastly different solutions to longstanding religious questions.

Required Textbooks

  • Dillard, For the Time Being, 1999
  • Peterson, Philosophy of Religion: Selected Readings, 3rd edition

You may purchase the textbooks at Friday Center Books & Gifts in person, online, or by mailing or faxing in the book order form. Refer to the online ordering site for current book prices. Please see Textbooks for textbook purchase dates.
