In this course, we shall study five central issues in contemporary philosophy of religion: ontological arguments, teleological arguments, the problem of evil, hell and salvation, and science and religion. Time permitting, we shall examine a contemporary argument against philosophical naturalism (the view that there are no supernatural entities of any kind).
