The primary purpose of this course is to explore classical issues in the philosophy of religion, such as the reality of God, the problem of evil, religious language, life after death, and the pluralism of religious traditions. Discussion focuses on proofs for and against the existence of God and various critiques and defenses of religious belief in general. The course will also explore how the claims of European thinkers translate into the African-American experience of religion.
