This course focuses on two issues: (1) the problem of evil if there is a God who is perfectly good and loving, omnipotent and omniscient, why do people suffer?; (2) the problems of religious knowledge, understanding and discourse what, if anything, can one know of God, is talk of God meaningful and, if so, how? How might religious texts be interpreted and understood? Subjects include: the classical theory of analogy; modern empiricism; contextual semantics; recent hermeneutical (interpretation) theory.
