In today’s episode, a philosopher explores this question: Is belief in God irrational?
You’ll hear from Meghan Sullivan, a philosophy professor at the University of Notre Dame. In this talk, she explores what led her to become a Christian in college, how she responds to common objections about her faith, and why she thinks it’s rational to believe in Christianity.
This forum was held at Middlebury College in 2016. Thank you to the student planning team for making this event possible.

To be a Christian, you don’t have to accept the idea that faith is merely belief without evidence. The best thinkers in the Christian tradition—from the gospels onward—have offered reasons for belief in things unseen.
My faith has grown more complex, not less, over the years.
We are all created with a deep need to find reasons for our beliefs—only then are we truly satisfied.
