Reviews

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.
*Richard Eldridge, The Journal of Mind and Behavior*
