What is More Important than Learning About God?

PL460/BT460: Philosophy of Religion — Spring 2026

This message is for students seeking an elective course that can be, or will be, one of the most important courses they will take in their college career — it is a course that focuses on God. What kind of knowledge is more important than knowledge of God? As a Christian philosopher who has spent more than two decades working on this topic, I found nothing more valuable than learning about God. Philosophy is one of the sharpest tools for helping us understand questions about God. Please speak with my former students who took this course to hear what they would say. If there are committed students who are eager to learn as much as possible in this upper-level course, I will consider inviting, via Zoom, as I did before, some of the leading philosophers who have devoted their adult lives to working on the question of God. In other words, consider taking this course, and you will never regret it!
