When Richard Dawkins has been accused of ignoring the entire discipline of theology in his attacks on theism, he has shrugged away the criticism by saying such things as “To refute the existence of fairies, you don’t need to study fairyology.” Reitan will explain why, in wrestling with the question of God’s existence, theology cannot be so cavalierly dismissed.
Eric Reitan, UR alum and award winning writer and scholar, is a Professor of Philosophy at Oklahoma State University specializing in ethics, nonviolence theory, and the philosophy of religion. His recent book, Is God a Delusion?, was named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title of 2009.
Sponsored by UR’s Protestant Chapel Community, The Department of Religion & Classics, The Department of Philosophy, and the Undergraduate Council on Religion & Classics.
Once again, the Protestant Chapel Community is hard at work preparing for its annual service of Lessons & Carols, and we invite you to join us!
What: Service of Lessons & Carols
When: Sunday, December 12, 2010
Time: 5:00 p.m.
Place: Interfaith Chapel, University of Rochester (Don’t worry, you can park anywhere on campus on Sundays!)
If you can’t make that service, but would like to join us for another of our Advent Sundays, then please join us on Sunday, December 5, when the service will include music by a special PCC brass quintet! All PCC services are at 5:00 p.m. at the Interfaith Chapel on the U of R.
This week’s topic will be “Did Paul write all the New Testament letters which bear his name?” We are delighted to once again be joined by popular UR professor of religion, Anne Meredith. Professor Meredith will lead us in a discussion of why many Bible scholars think it likely that Paul wrote some, but not all, of the “Pauline letters.” Do you find their arguments persuasive, or not? Come find out – this is a DD you won’t want to miss!
