New Course Available: Questions of Faith I — Fact and Faith

What is religion? Why is it even worth thinking about? In Questions of Faith I: Fact and Faith (BT850), our newest online course, Dr. Ian A. H. Bond takes students through an exploration of the philosophy of religion. No previous background in religious studies or philosophy is required. The only requirement for taking this course is an inquiring mind and an open-hearted interest in finding answers to the “big questions” of religion, existence, life, and eternity.

This study considers the major questions of this discipline: Does God exist? If God is all-powerful and all-good, why is there suffering? Is there life after death?

Course Objectives
