On this module, you'll look at key debates in contemporary philosophy of religion in the analytic tradition.

You'll cover arguments for and against the existence of god and religious knowledge, reading historical texts and research.

You'll also tackle overlooked topics, including feminist philosophy of religion, and whether different religious traditions can be understood as worshipping the same god.
