PHILOSOPHY
OF RELIGION
The Study Group in Philosophy of Religion exists to glorify God and edify each other by studying the philosophical implications of the Scriptures, applying them to present-day philosophical questions and debates, and defending them against philosophical attack. All Christians are welcome to attend, as are non-Christians prepared to respect the group’s Christian ethos, and the group places a high emphasis on encouraging constructive discussion and on praying for each other.
We meet in-person at the annual Tyndale Fellowship conference, along with the Fellowship's other study groups.

Call for Abstracts: Philosophy of Religion Study Group
Tyndale Fellowship Conference, 30 June - 2 July 2025
Our Philosophy of Religion Study Group will meet concurrently with Tyndale Fellowship's other Study Groups from 30 June to 2 July 2025 at the Hayes Conference Centre, Derbyshire, UK. We are very pleased that Dr. Brandon Rickabaugh of Palm Beach Atlantic University has agreed to be our Tyndale Fellowship plenary lecturer. He will speak on the topic, “Technologically Formed in Christ? AI, Spiritual Formation, and the Rising Intimacy Economy.“
Note: Early-bird registration opens around 6 January and ends 3 February 2025.
If you’d like to present a paper, please send an abstract (no precise word limit: aim for 250 words or so) to paul_copan@pba.edu by 2 December 2024.
The paper itself should be aimed to last for about 30 minutes — about 20 minutes to present and 10 minutes for Q&A. The abstract can be on any area of philosophy of religion, broadly construed. We are happy to receive submissions from any stream of philosophy (analytical, continental, historical, feminist…) and from people of any faith or none. If you do not expect to be able to be present in person, please feel free to submit an abstract, making it clear that you are able to present only on-line. Equally, it’d be helpful if you could confirm that you expect to be in person, if that is the case. We intend to give preference for in-person talks but may be able to accommodate a couple of on-line talks.
