Lesson 7: Assignments and Readings


Reading Assignment

New Essays in Philosophical Theology, pp. 96-108 (sec. VI) Flew, Hare, Mitchell, Flew (reply)

Suggested Assignment

In his reply to Basil Mitchell, Flew argues that the kinds of evidence Mitchell appeals to as confirming or disconfirming theism do not in fact do so, given theistic claims about the divine attributes (omnipotence, omniscience, perfect goodness, and so on). Explain Flew's objection, and suggest how Mitchell might respond to it.
