DISCOVER THE PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS OF RELIGION.
Philosophy of Religion reveals how religious experience can lead to self-evident knowledge of God. Throughout the course, you will engage in philosophical dialogue and examine the nature of religious experience. As a result, you’ll understand how these experiences provide a direct, intellectually grounded way of knowing God—without relying solely on traditional evidence or arguments for His existence.
FAITH & REASON COMBINED
Alongside this exploration, you will study Christian epistemology and evaluate objections raised by non-believers. This balanced approach allows you to see how faith and reason work together to reveal spiritual truth. Ultimately, you’ll gain the tools to understand how religious experience offers self-evident knowledge of the divine.
"THE EXPERIENCE OF THE GOSPEL AS THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD WILL ALSO BE A GENUINE SELF-EVIDENT TRUTH TO THOSE WHO EXPERIENCE IT AS SUCH."
RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE AND
KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
About The Course
In Philosophy of Religion, you will dive into key philosophical ideas that explain how religious experience can offer valid, self-evident knowledge of God. This course walks you through the foundations of Christian epistemology. Through structured learning and reflection, you’ll build a solid understanding of how belief in God can be justified by personal experience, rather than relying exclusively on traditional proofs.

By exploring common critiques, you’ll gain confidence in responding to questions about the legitimacy of religious experience as a source of knowledge. By the course’s end, you’ll feel prepared to engage in deep conversations about faith, reason, and how we come to know God.

Understand how religious experience can provide self-evident knowledge of God.
Explore essential elements of Christian epistemology (the theory of knowledge).
