This course responds to the resurgence of interest in natural theology by offering a comparative analysis of the diverse contemporary developments in this area. This course takes as its starting point the recent revisionary re-evaluations of natural theology from naive Enlightenment apologetics and anti-scientific invocations of the "God of the gaps" to a tradition of sophisticated and robust theological engagements with philosophy, science, and the arts.
