I am Professor of Philosophy and Theology and chair of the Department of Religion and Philosophy at Bethel University in Indiana, USA. I'm a Christian philosopher and most of my books have to do with God or some subject related to God or Christianity. But I also have a deep appreciation for other faith traditions and for thoughtful skeptics, agnostics, and atheists as well. In fact, a number of my books include writings of leading thinkers from the major world religions and from those who deny the reality of God altogether. As I see it, there is tremendous value in the dialogue, and much to learn from those with whom we disagree.

My published books include the following: Evil: A Guide for the Perplexed (2nd edition), Christian Thought: A Historical Introduction (2nd edition), Investigating Philosophy of Religion, The Cambridge Companion to Religious Diversity, The Cambridge Companion to the Problem of Evil, The Oxford Handbook of Religious Diversity, and The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Religion (2nd edition). I am General Editor, with Paul Moser, of two book series with Cambridge University Press, one entitled Cambridge Studies in Religion, Philosophy, and Society, and the other entitled Cambridge Elements: Religion and Monotheism. I am also General Editor, with Charles Taliaferro, of the book series with Routledge entitled Investigating Philosophy of Religion, and of the six-volume work, A History of Evil (Routledge)

Professor Khaldoun Sweis’s world turned upside down when his son died. But it was through that pain that he found the evidence for Christ to be an indispensable anchor for his soul. He now seeks to help others who have gone through difficulties and suffering with the astounding evidence for Christ. He teaches not just on the problem of evil, but how to navigate through it by using evidence.

Khaldoun leads the famous Socratic Project which hosts debates and discussions on critical issues of our time. He has taught philosophy of religion for Oxford University for 9 years and is currently Associate Professor of Philosophy at Olive-Harvey College in Chicago.

Professor Sweis holds a PhD in Philosophy of the Mind from the University of Hull in the United Kingdom. He has three books: Killing God: Addressing the Best Arguments from the New Atheists (CP, Chicago, 2016), Debating Christian Theism (Oxford Univ. Press, 2013) and Christian Apologetics, An Anthology of Primary Sources (Zondervan, 2011). His website is www.logicallyfaithful.com; and https://www.facebook.com/LogicallyFaithful/

where you can find his endorsements, photos, videos, podcasts, and other academic work as well. The BestSchools.com recently did a lengthy interview with him here: https://goo.gl/HAbaSc

Dr. Carol Lieberman with Voice of America https://goo.gl/VB7YMD interviewed him as well.

Dr. Sweis went on to become Chair of the Humanities Department at the City Colleges of Chicago. He has spoken at conferences worldwide, including lectures at Oxford, Berkeley, Cambridge, Hofstra University, University College London, as well as in Hong Kong, Australia, and Romania.

In 2013, Dr. Sweis was awarded the Phi Theta Honor Society’s “Distinguished Faculty” award.

JP Moreland wrote: “Khaldoun Sweis is a solid Christian scholar with integrity and deep commitment to Jesus and His Kingdom. I recommend him as a speaker and friend of your ministry."– JP Moreland, Ph.D.

And David DiCerto, Director of Film and TV at the Sheet Centre for Thought and Culture wrote:

"Khaldoun is both erudite and entertaining, a confident and congenial speaker who understands that, far from being the dusty domain of scholars, philosophy is at the heart of the matter of everyday living."

He is a member of the International Society of Christian Apologetics , the Center for Consciousness Studies , the American Philosophical Association and the Evangelical Philosophical Society and also participates with the Skeptic Society .

"It still remains true that no justification of virtue will enable a man to be virtuous."
