63. Michael Rea on Philosophy of Religion and Analytic Theology

March 7, 2015 by Randal

Michael ReaFifty years ago the philosopher keen to study philosophy of religion was not that far off the chemist keen to study alchemy. In other words, it might provide a novel pastime, just so long as you didn’t grant the discourse any significance for the real world.

Things have certainly changed. Today philosophy of religion is a robust enterprise sustaining several academic journals, conferences and graduate programs.

So it shouldn’t be a surprise that recent years have seen an additional intriguing development with the rise of analytic theology. Spearheaded by Michael Rea and Oliver Crisp, this is a movement that seeks to apply the tools of analytic philosophy to explicitly theological topics in a shameless blurring of disciplinary boundaries. In this episode of the Tentative Apologist Podcast we sit down with Michael Rea for a conversation on the current state of philosophy of religion and analytic theology.

Mike is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame and Co-Director of Notre Dame’s Center for Philosophy of Religion. He has authored many books including Evil and the Hiddenness of God and Metaphysics: The Basics. And in my opinion, he is among the first rank of Christian philosophers working in the field today.
