This is a challenging and rewarding book for those interested in
the history of the philosophy of religion, contemporary debates in
philosophy of religion, and Wittgenstein.
*Peg O'Connor, Journal of the History of Philosophy13/11/2015*
Graham gives us a way to understand the purpose, originality, and
value of Wittgenstein's contribution to the philosophy of religion
relative to that older tradition rather than against the theistic
metaphysics of our own time, and thus he helps revive the alluring
concept of "true religion." That is truly a valuable
accomplishment.
*Christopher Hoyt, International Journal for Philosophy of
Religion*
The second half of the book turns fully to an examination of
religion, and his discussion here is excellent... there is a great
deal to commend Graham's book. He provides a compelling picture of
natural religion that is well worth following.
*Mark Bernier, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online*
Grahams effort to uphold Christianitys distinctive intelligibility
and point is passionate, deeply informed, and argumentative. This
effort bears comparison with the greatest argumentative effort to
establish via metaphysico-interpretive means the distinctive truth
of Christianity: Hegelsin his Lectures on the Philosophy of
Religion.
