Reflections upon Religion
-
This book is intended to be a useful philosophy of religion textbook for undergraduate students who major in science and engineering.
Unlike other philosophy of religion books, this book often combines traditional topics in philosophy of religion with scientific theories, such as evolutionary theory and the Big Bang theory. For this reason, science and engineering majors will be more excited to discuss traditional topics in philosophy of religion.
I do not expect that the readers of this book will be philosophy majors. As a consequence, philosophical jargons are kept to a minimum. In case I inevitably use one, I define it and offer examples to illustrate it. As a result of reading this book, students will increase their ability to think critically and creatively about God and religion. Demonstration is the best way to help them increase such an ability. In this spirit, I criticize distinguished thinkers’ views about God and religion, and defend alternatives to them.
I sometimes develop new topics about God and religion so that readers can be engaged in new debates about them. Such debates will cast new light on them. There are study questions at the end of each chapter. They are intended to stimulate readers to think for themselves about God and religion and to go beyond what I said in the book.
I thank the University of Maryland and UNIST for the chance to teach philosophy of religion courses. I could not write this book without my teaching experiences at those universities. Finally, I thank Professor John Park in Department of Philosophy at California State University - Sacramento for useful comments on an earlier draft of this book.
