Assignment 2: Theology and Philosophy
For Week 2, address the following in a three-page paper:
This assignment is designed to encourage you to reflect upon the nature of God from a philosophical rather than religious perspective. After completing this week’s readings, write a 3–4-page essay explaining at least two approaches to the nature and existence of God.
- Explain the difference between theology and philosophy.
- Describe at least two philosophical approaches to the nature and existence of God, then compare and contrast them.
- What are the similarities and differences between your personal beliefs about God and the accounts of God we have studied this week? For instance, does natural theology give us a means to determine what our purpose is and how we should live our lives? Why, or why not?
