About this course

It covers issues such as philosophical accounts of ultimate reality or God, arguments to justify theistic or atheistic belief, rational accounts of the afterlife and religious experiences, the relationship between faith and reason, the nature of religious language, and how to make sense of evil and suffering in the world.

No section is scheduled at De Anza College for Winter 2027. The course can still be offered in a later quarter.
