Review of Faith and Reason - Philosophy of Religion |
Faith and Reason - Philosophy of Religion
Modern Scholar Series - recorded books - 7 CD's
Lecturer: Professor Peter Kreeft
A highly recommend series for anyone interested in the subject of
religion and spiritual studies. The professor is a long time resident
of Boston college. I was afraid he would give a biased view of religion
due to his association with a Jesuit school. But I found this course to
be very fair minded. I could not tell and preference for any side of
the subject and he argued for all sides with the same zeal. The bulk of
the course discussed the monotheist and atheist views while the
remainder dealt with comparative religion studies of Buddhism,
Hinduism, Confucius, and Taoism.
Course Syllabus
Lecture 1 What Is Religion? Why Is It Worth Thinking About?
Lecture 2 Atheism
Lecture 3 The Problem of Evil
Lecture 4 Arguments for God's Existence from Nature (Cosmological
Arguments)
Lecture 5 Arguments for God's Existence from Human Experience
(Psychological Arguments)
Lecture 6 Religion and Science
Lecture 7 The Case Against Life After Death
Lecture 8 The Case for Life After Death: Twelve Arguments
Lecture 9 Different Concepts of Heaven
Lecture 10 Hell
Lecture 11 Testing the Different Truth-Claims of Different Religions
Lecture 12 Comparative Religions
Lecture 13 What Would Socrates Think?
Lecture 14 Religious Experience

Faith and Reason - Philosophy of Religion
Faith is the opposite of reason.
Faith is the acceptance of an idea without evidence, without any
sensory evidence for the acceptance of that idea.
Reason is impotent without sensory evidence.
There can be no god without faith, therefore there can be no god with
reason.

But can there be a little bit of evidence and a little bit of faith
combined together into penaut butter and chocholate, as in my Reese's
Peices?
