Can Belief in God Be Rational? Coherence of Divine Attributes | Joshua Sijuwade, Ph. D.

Is belief in God rational? 🤔 In this episode of the NT Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most important questions in philosophy of religion: can theism be intellectually justified? 🧠📚 Together with prof. Joshua Sijuwade, we explore the core foundations of classical theism and Christian philosophy, asking whether belief in God can withstand serious philosophical scrutiny. 🔍 Topics covered include: What is the correct definition of God? Are there good arguments for God’s existence? (cosmological, metaphysical, etc.) Can philosophy lead us to the Trinitarian God, or only to generic theism? ✝️ Is the Trinity logically coherent? How should we understand the problem of evil? What is omnipotence—and is it a coherent concept? 💥 Does omniscience include de se knowledge and phenomenal knowledge? What does omnipresence really mean? 🌍 What would a perfect God do about hell: eternal punishment, annihilation, or universal salvation? 🔥 This discussion is ideal for anyone interested in: philosophy of religion, Christian apologetics, metaphysics, theology, and the rational justification of belief in God. 👉 If you've ever asked: “Is it reasonable to believe in God?” — this episode is for you.
