The principal claim of several of the world’s great religions is that God exists. This course considers some of the principal (and Traditional) properties of God: being all-powerful, being all-knowing, and being perfectly good. It also considers some of the principal arguments for and against His existence: an ontological argument, some cosmological arguments, some design arguments, and the problem of evil.
