This assignment is designed to encourage you to understand the difference between theology and philosophy and 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 comparing and contrasting at least two philosophical theories on the nature and existence of God. Finally, compare these philosophical beliefs to your own religious belief. What are the similarities and differences between your personal beliefs about God and the philosophical accounts of God we have studied this week? For instance, what is the role of faith? Of rational reflection?
