This lecture will consider the place of evidence in science and religion, looking particularly at some of the debates about the rationality of faith associated with “New Atheist” writings, such as Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion (2006). The lecture will look at some classic arguments for the existence of God – such as Thomas Aquinas’ cosmological argument, and C. S. Lewis’s argument from desire – and consider how these might fit into the overall theme of the “rationality of faith”.
This is a free public lecture by Alister McGrath, Gresham Professor of Divinity.
There is no need to book in advance for this lecture. It runs on a first come first served basis.
