Site Description: The Center for Philosophy of Religion at the University of Notre Dame was established in the fall of 1976 in order to promote, support and disseminate scholarly work in philosophy of religion and Christian philosophy. The Center hopes to promote work concerned with the traditional topics and questions that fall under the rubric of the philosophy of religion: the theistic proofs, the rationality of belief in God, the problem of evil, the nature of religious language, and the like. At least as important, however, is the Center's effort to promote and encourage the development and exploration of specifically Christian and theistic philosophy, the sort of philosophy which takes Christianity (or, more broadly, theism) for granted and then proceeds to work on philosophical questions and problems from that perspective. Christian philosophy, thus conceived, involves defending the theistic perspective against the various sorts of attacks brought against it. It also includes criticism of contemporary philosophical culture from a Christian perspective; it includes a self-conscious attempt to consider the main philosophical topics and problems from this perspective, in order to discern and develop the implications (if any) of that perspective for those problems and topics; and it includes the attempt to achieve deeper understanding of the main contours and lineaments of the Christian faith.
