You Tube Theology

What happens when the deep questions of God are addressed by the precise methods of analytic philosophy? It's not about "proving" the existence of God — it's about clarifying the attributes and doctrines of God. Eleonore Stump argues that philosophy and theology need each other: theology without philosophy gets fuzzy; philosophy without theology goes blind to what actually matters about persons. Meld the two, and you get something of real power.

Eleonore Stump is an American philosopher and the Robert J. Henle Professor of Philosophy at Saint Louis University, where she has taught since 1992.
