Abstract
The idea of God, and religion more generally, has had a profound impact on civilization. In a study of God, there are many perspectives one might adopt—historical, anthropological, sociological, psychological, personal, or philosophical. In this course, as its name indicates, we will adopt a philosophical perspective. We will study God and religion using reason alone, unaided by sacred texts or church tradition. Our focus will be on ‘classical theism’, according to which God is an absolutely perfect being. (Classical theism’s major representatives are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.)
