The Students have advanced knowledge in the main issues of the philosophy of religion, e.g. the logical and epistemological status of religious beliefs, the justification of claims about God’s existence and attributes, and the argumentative structure of religious criticism. They have the competence to develop critical and well-reasoned assessments in these fields.  

Various forms and definitions of “religion”; theories about the function of religious language; arguments for and against the rationality of religious belief; the question of the existence and attributes of God; interpretations and argumentative weight of religious experience; religious and other world-views.
