Welcome!

This is the course blog for Philosophy of Religion.

My hope is that each of you will participate thoughtfully and graciously in the conversations on this blog. The topics addressed in this course are crucial to a robust understanding of religious commitment. Consequently, we may be unwilling to consider carefully and charitably views that are different from our own or to take seriously objections to our beliefs.

This is unfortunate and tragic.

I should hope that on this blog we practice listening carefully to each other, expressing clearly and carefully our positions, and handling graciously criticisms raised against our beliefs. Doing so should help us all think harder and better about religion/religious belief in addition to thinking harder and better about who we are and how we are to engage the world.

I look forward to joining in conversation with each of you!
